Helping a child adjust to the loss of her grandmother; this story is beautifully illustrated in watercolors by Elivia Savadier. It is told in the first person by the child as she secretly puts on her deceased grandmother's shoes. The shoes take her on a trip of reminiscences which helps her to understand where her grandmother has gone. This book will be valuable for children from 4-8 and even older. Death can be difficult for a child to understand and this story presents it in a gentle and loving way. The story is told without religious references, however they could easily be included as desired.
