I couldn't even make it through the first page of this picture book before I got emotional. In this beautifully illustrated story, an elderly woman remembers snapshots of her life while her daughter and great-grandson visit her at the nursing home. I appreciate the message about how even when elders are in states of decline and are unable to interact, it is important to value and express love to them. I also love this book's portrayal of the beauty of an ordinary life that leaves behind a legacy with family members.
