We were pleased to be introduced to this book (and song) at a service this past weekend.

It serves as a wonderful reminder of how our loved ones leave us little signs that keep them close.

This book, dating back to 1973 offers wonderful insight for children who will experience the loss of a grandparent.

The first time I encountered this book was as a young child. I can still picture it on the bookshelf in our family room.

I remember reading it from time to time and thinking – “this is what is going to happen when Grandma Swan dies.” As a child, I was blessed to visit my grandparents at their home in York. It was a multi-generational household with my great-grandmother also living in the home. I could visit back and forth between the two sides of the house. My great-grandmother’s room featured lovely Ideal magazines and the story A Little Match Girl which Grandma read to me, while I enjoyed a Kraft toffee - only one though! The only person who dared to take two was Allison. ~ Jodi
