Book Overview

When a young girl attends her grandmother's unveiling ceremony a year after her death, she reflects upon and celebrates the special relationship she cherished with her supportive and fun-loving grandmother.

My memories of you
stay strong like this stone.
So though you are gone,
I'm never alone.

A child reflects on all the fun things she used to do with her grandmother, like baking challah, growing tulips, walking on the beach, and sharing jokes. Told against the backdrop of a Jewish unveiling ceremony, which takes place around the first anniversary of a loved one's passing, this is a story about the imprints that the people we love leave upon our hearts long after they are gone.

This heartfelt picture book is about honoring those we have lost by remembering the happiness, comfort, and wisdom they brought into our lives.
