An incredible children's book that not only speaks with the simplicity of being young and having someone special to look up to, but also with a tone read only between the lines of society today and our neive ideas as children that the world isn't so bad.

The story speaks of a child looking up to her grandfather, talking of all the things they will do together when she get's to be his age.

a great bedtime story for children and a wonderful short feel good book for adults who want to remember.

The illustrations in the book have this incredible way of bringing back memories of my own past with my grandmother. I'm sure they do the same for other readers as well.

This book always makes me cry by the time I finish reading it. There's so much emotion between the lines, so much that you tend to forget as you grow up.

It made me smile at the memories of being young while crying for having to grow up.

It is a read well-worth the time wheather you have a little one or not.
