About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when wanting to nurture a child's bond with a grandparent or explore the concept of family history in a gentle, imaginative way.

Soon, Sarah has a new, imaginary playmate who is the embodiment of her grandmother's childhood self. This beautiful, quiet story explores themes of intergenerational love, the power of imagination to connect us, and the comforting realization that our grandparents were once children, too. It is perfectly suited for children who are developing their own imaginative worlds or asking questions about their family's past.
