Remembering Grandpa by Uma Krishnaswami, illustrated by Layne Johnson [in Bloomsbury Review]

Remembering GrandpaTo cure his grandmother’s “bad case of sadness” one year after his grandfather’s death, young Daysha collects special treasures that bring back the loving experiences and memories of his much-missed grandfather. When he shares the treasures with his grandmother, he realizes that her sadness doesn’t need a cure, “just hugs, and the right kind of remembering.”
