librarianryan 's review for:

Other Words for Nonno by Dave Cameron
emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad medium-paced

 
What a wonderfully heartbreaking and heart healing book. This book is about a grandchild and a grandparent. They think about how many things are called by different names, be had a person or a building or an activity. Every weekend grandpa and grandchild go on a walk and look at the world and one day the grandchild realizes that grandpa is starting to lose his words. And grandchild realizes that things are not always great. But the grandchild has a way to help grandpa remember. This book is so sweet and heartfelt and wonderful. It’s also sad and reflective but in a way that makes you feel happy at the end.
