Ten Beautiful Things by Molly Beth Griffin
5.0
emotional hopeful inspiring

 
OMG - the ending just about had me in tears.  Gram and Lily are going for a long car ride.  Lily is going to live with Gram.  We don’t know why, it’s never mentioned.  Gram’s makes a game of finding 10 beautiful things.  As a way to take Lily’s mind of whatever it is on and make her feel more safe and secure.  This book should be a staple in libraries, and in child resource centers, or anyplace that needs to place a child with their grandparent.  I spend quite a bit of time living with my grams in between base transfers, so maybe I feel this book more than other will, but I don’t care.  I loved this story.
