Remembering a grandmother through shared traditions

Set around a Jewish unveiling ceremony held about a year after a death, this picture book connects remembrance with a child’s memories of her grandmother. Baking challah, tending tulips, beach walks, and shared jokes give shape to the relationship the child is honoring. The ceremony provides cultural context for a story about how love, comfort, and wisdom remain part of a person’s life through memory. Its focus on bereavement is grounded in familiar moments between a child and a grandparent.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring the loss of a loved one with an adult.
  • Families seeking a picture book that includes a Jewish mourning tradition.
  • Readers interested in stories about grandparent-grandchild bonds and remembrance.

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.
