Walking Grandma Home

A Story of Grief, Hope, and Healing
In this poignant story about the death of a grandmother, a young boy draws support from shared family memories and processes a range of emotions including fear, grief, and joyful remembrance---and comes to recognize his own important place in the loving circle.

This picture book from a child psychologist and counselor uses a touching and relatable story about a young boy’s grief to help children 4-8 understand what it means to lose a loved one and how to process their own emotions of fear, grief, and joyful remembrance. 

When Grandma tells Lee she will soon be “going home,” Lee is confused. Isn’t Grandma already home? But as Grandma’s health gets worse and her death approaches, Lee learns what it means to “walk Grandma home” to heaven, while also reflecting on his good memories and dealing with his grief alongside his extended family.
