I'll Be the Water: A Story of Loss, Grief, and a Grandparent's Love by Alec AspinwallThe grandchild laments that he wishes his grandfather "weren't so good at getting old", and the grandfather responds he was always an overachiever. Here the sweet understanding of a grandchild learning about grief and loss, but realizing that the departed live on, around us, as "the water", is the star of the story. Filled with heart, this is a wonderful book for grief or loss, or even just to remind kids "whose they are" and as they go out in the world, the ones they love and that love them, are always with them.
