The fond memories of a beloved grandpa bring sadness but also comfort to a young girl learning about loss. She thinks of all the ways her grandpa will always be there for her through the experiences they shared together. This nourishing read-aloudof Charlotte Cheng’s I Miss You Most is just right for starting the necessary conversations about grief, and for paying tribute to the loved ones we’ve lost.
