Thoughts of a 3/12 year old upon the death of her grandfather, plus other musings by the author. "Grandpa has died. Where is he now? Children have questions. How do I talk about death with my young child in the midst of my own grief. Adults have questions too. This book is intended for adults and children to read aloud together. It is meant to encourage conversation about the death of a loved one. So find a cozy place, open these pages, and laugh and cry together."

Another ICRS comment
As I walked by one of the gift booths, a woman asked if I wanted a candle. She then noticed my button provided by the publisher. It read, "Ask me about my book" and had a picture of the book cover attached. She quickly got the attention of her partner with the exclamation, "This is the woman who wrote the book about children and death!" Of course, I signed a book for her on the spot. The next day as I was walking by the same booth, she motioned for me to stop and said, "We read your book last night. We love your book!" And I love her reaction!

Overheard at ICRS
At my book signing on Tuesday afternoon of the ICRS, a man holding a small piece of paper with a few titles on it stood in line. As he walked away after receiving my signed book he said, "Oh good, I got 'Grandpa.' If I hadn't gotten 'Grandpa', I would have been in big trouble!"
