Illustrated by
Christopher Denise.
All of mouse Jenny's life Grandfather has been there, gently teaching her how to smile at the world so it smiles back. Then suddenly, he's gone. Devastated, Jenny begins following visions of her beloved grandfather until she finally comes to terms with his death. Quiet black-and-white illustrations illuminate this tender story of loss set in vivid mid-twentieth-century Boston.
