I am glad you have happy memories with both of them. I agree that this is a difficult topic, and I thought this book did a nice job handling such a tough and emotional topic. This is a book that can help kids better understand what is going on when a grandparent starts to forget and act differently. Very moving! Thanks for sharing your stories with us. :) ~LDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-65672124794963173002014-03-16T11:51:59.060-04:002014-03-16T11:51:59.060-04:00Barbara- It is such a great book and the bookstore...Barbara- It is such a great book and the bookstore is fabulous. ;) ~LDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-21587341534820130812014-03-16T01:12:10.676-04:002014-03-16T01:12:10.676-04:00My favourite memories of them: my wai-po (mother&#...My favourite memories of them: my wai-po (mother's mother) sold Chinese pastry well until her 80s, and she took the bus to and fro. She was very independent, and us children would visit her at her stall every weekend. She was always, always, kind and loving to me.<br /><br />As for my other grandma (father's mother), who thankfully is still with us but is suffering from speech difficulties and a confused stream of thoughts, she gave me a handful of sweets just days before her stroke, telling me to take more, take more. <br /><br />I have heard about this picture book some time last year and I love the story premise. It isn't an easy topic for most, but it's definitely a most moving one.Yanting Guehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788603550626277974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-73895601166927450512014-03-13T06:37:05.634-04:002014-03-13T06:37:05.634-04:00Such a lovely book - and bookstore.
