Remembering Grandpa

Daysha's grandma has come down with a bad case of sadness. Grandpa has been gone for over a year. Sad isn't how Daysha remembers Grandpa, so she sets out to collect all the things that would bring happy memories. She finds a button that fell off Grandpa's coat. She gathers flowers from the field where she and Grandpa liked to chase butterflies. She finds Grandpa's old guitar. She places all of the objects near the back porch of her grandma's house.

As Daysha had hoped, they bring back happy memories. Grandma agrees that this is the best way to remember Grandpa. Uma Krishnaswami's simple and heartfelt story is illustrated with loving care by Layne Johnson.
