About This Book
Great-Grandmother's Treasure is a tender picture book that addresses the difficult topic of death through a beautiful metaphor. When Great-Grandmother dies, the story explains that she carries all her cherished memories and experiences with her in her apron. This approach provides a gentle, non-literal framework for children aged 4-11 to begin to understand loss and the concept of a loved one's passing. It emphasizes the lasting impact of a person's life and the memories they leave behind, offering comfort and a starting point for conversations about grief and remembrance.
Great-Grandmother puts all the treasured experiences of her life into her apron and takes them with her when she dies.
