This book was so bittersweet. A young boy shares memories with his grandfather, and realizes his grandfather is forgetting his memories as time goes on. This story could help young children better understand and accept memory loss with the older people they know.

Ahhh, this volume was lovely! I love Myne and her interactions with people. Lutz is one of my favorite characters, so I was happy this volume had more of his character. The whole time I was reading this, I was dying to make some paper! It makes me want to get up and craft. I'm interested in the addition of magic to the world- I'm eager to see where this goes!
