The Biggest Thing of All

Description

Ideal for children aged 7-9 years, this book helps children come to terms with the death of a loved one and better understand the grief they're feeling. Lily loves helping Grandma and Grandpa in their garden where they plant, prune and talk about everything. One day, Grandpa tells her that everything is a part of something bigger: One ant is part of a colony. One raindrop becomes part of the ocean. One star is part of the universe. When Grandma suddenly passes away, Lily struggles to deal with her grief. But she remembers Grandpa's words and comes to realize they are all part of something bigger - a family - and that love is the biggest thing of all.
