Saturdays with Gramps

Description

Themes: Grief, Loss, Love, Hope & Healing
Ages: 5-10

A warm hug of a book for any child who’s missing someone they love.

Saturdays were Sam’s favorite—Grampscakes dripping with syrup, lively chess matches, sweet moments spent birdwatching. Just Sam and Gramps, soaking up their special day.

But when Gramps passes away, Sam is heartbroken, and Saturdays feel empty.

With his mom’s gentle guidance, Sam begins to understand a powerful truth: even though Gramps is gone, the love they shared—and their cherished Saturday traditions—will always remain. Because, like syrup on pancakes, love sticks around.

Whether a child is grieving a grandparent, parent, pet, or any kind of loved one, Saturdays with Gramps reminds them they’re not alone—and that love lasts forever.
