is a poignant, touching and spiritually evocative tale. I heartily
recommend it to families everywhere."

"The
universality of the response to the child's query of 'Where is Grandpa?'
makes this book appropriate for people of all belief systems. The
staff within our hospice program has found this to be a most valuable
aid in helping children understand and find peace in the loss of
a loved one."
-Connie
Holden, Executive Director
Hospice of Boulder County,CO

of the most outstanding books of 2000."

Reviews
"How
do grandchildren (or adult children) deal with a beloved grandparent's
death? The Barron family, like many of us, find comfort in recalling
special times - Grandpa's pumpkin-carving marathon, finding a nest
of raccoons on a giant tree trunk, a waterfall that Grandpa called
'liquid light', a three-day horseshoe contest.But where is Grandpa
now? The grieving father tells his son that ' Grandpa is any place
where people who love each other have spent time together', like
up at that waterfall or even in a tree house. And then the boy knows
' it might be all right now' to go to those special places he's
shared when his grandfather was still alive."
