About the Book



"In the darkness just before sunrise, a sleepy boy and his grandfather set off on Grandma's favorite walk to find her favorite place. Is it the woods where multicolored moths flutter? Or the stream with its leaping frogs and flashing trout? The hidden hollow where a mother deer lives with her fawn? As grandfather and grandchild stand gazing over the water to the horizon, and the sun begins to rise, it becomes clear to the boy that they've finally reached Grandma's favorite place--and it's the perfect spot to remember her"--



Book Synopsis



"[An] ethereal picture book about grief and remembrance." --Foreword Reviews (starred review)

This tender intergenerational story about loss and remembrance is set against the extraordinary beauty of the natural world.

In the darkness just before sunrise, a sleepy boy and his grandfather set off on Grandma's favorite walk to find her favorite place. Is it the woods where multicolored moths flutter? Or the stream with its leaping frogs and flashing trout? The hidden hollow where a mother deer lives with her fawn? As grandfather and grandchild stand gazing over the water to the horizon, and the sun begins to rise, it becomes clear to the boy that they've finally reached Grandma's favorite place--and it's the perfect spot to remember her. With stunning illustrations evoking the wonder of wild creatures, the chill of the air at dawn, and the golden light of the sun as it rises, author-illustrator Jason Cockcroft captures a quiet moment in one child's life that will long reverberate.



Review Quotes




The extraordinary mixed-media illustrations are explosions of natural beauty, with night scenes shaded in violets and blues broken up by a small illumination of a flashlight, a splash of yellow that hints at the climax of the story.
