Reach for this book when your child starts noticing a beloved grandparent becoming more frail, forgetful, or moving into an assisted living facility. It provides a gentle framework for processing the shift from a grandparent being a caregiver to being someone who needs care, while emphasizing that their wisdom and love remain unchanged. The story follows a young girl and her grandmother, Bubbe, through the seasons of aging, from baking together to visiting her in a nursing home. This is a poignant choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating the complex emotions of seeing a family member change. It uses the recurring refrain, Remember that, to anchor the child in positive memories and life lessons. It serves as a beautiful tool for parents to normalize the aging process and reassure children that even when a grandparent's surroundings or abilities change, the heart of the relationship stays the same.
