Customer Reviews

useful, straightforward look at a tough topic

I read this book to my son's first grade class today. The pictures seemed to speak to the children. Some had known elderly relatives with similarly vacant looks in their eyes. The one page length answers to questions were perfect for this age group. The answers are straightforward. No false happy endings here and the children appreciated that. And the images of older people cuddling with grandchildren were reassuring. We screened several other books before choosing this one. My son chose it over others because "it felt true".
