Sweet, Sweet Memory is a tender picture book that sensitively explores the themes of death, grief, and the enduring power of memory through the eyes of a young African-American girl named Sarah. After her Grandpa passes away, Sarah struggles with profound sadness, questioning how life can continue without him. Her Grandma and other relatives gather, sharing stories and hugs, which gradually helps Sarah understand that while people may be gone, their spirit and memories live on, much like the garden Grandpa tended. The book beautifully balances the pain of loss with the comforting idea of continuity, making it an excellent resource for families navigating the difficult experience of losing a loved one.
