Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice the distance between themselves and a beloved relative, or when they are first learning the mechanics of sending and receiving mail. It is a gentle, cozy exploration of a lifelong bond between a girl named Annie and her grandfather, told through the letters and postcards they exchange from the time she is born until she is in elementary school. The story beautifully illustrates how a relationship can flourish across the miles through consistent, small acts of sharing. It is perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are developing their own literacy skills, as it models how writing can be a bridge to the people we love. Parents will appreciate the way it validates a child's everyday experiences, showing that even a drawing or a simple story about a lost tooth is worth sharing with family.
