With You in Spirit - by Jenny Liao (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Join a young girl and her family as they prepare for Qingming: buying joss paper and incense, cooking favorite dishes, gathering everything they need to visit Yeh Yeh's grave. The girl is worried because her memories of Yeh Yeh are fading and wonders if he is forgetting her too.
As the family sweeps and clears debris from Yeh Yeh's grave, burn incense and joss paper, the little girl has an offering of her own. She shares about her adventures and accomplishments in the past year, burning a drawing of a bicycle, so that Yeh Yeh can ride like they used to at the park. With every story and offering, she feels closer to her grandfather. When the family, at last, gathers for a picnic at the grave, indulging in Yeh Yeh's favorite foods--it is a moment of togetherness and celebration.
A heartwarming story about honoring and celebrating those who are gone.
