01 May / Remembering Grandpa by Uma Krishnaswami, illustrated by Layne Johnson [in Bloomsbury Review]
To 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.”
