Introduction:

This is a beautiful and inspiring picture book. It tells a touching story with true universal appeal. Xiaole and his mom visit his grandma in Fragrance Village. It will be his last visit with his grandma, though he doesn’t know that at the time. They spend a day together, and the memories later comfort Xiaole and his mom. This is a story about losing your beloved one and a theme that is easily relatable for everyone. People will die, but their love will last forever. Dealing very sensitively with the subject of death in the family, this book helps explain the idea, and it also aids children and adults in many other family situations.
