WHEN GRANDFATHER FLEW - PATRICIA MACLACHLAN GEB...

A grieving boy remembers his grandfather and the hobby they shared  in this moving evocation of
love and loss by a Newbery Medalist. Milo's grandfather is fascinated by birds. He admires
their freedom and never loses an opportunity to point out the things that make each one
special. When he can no longer see as well as he used to  Milo helps him spot and take care of
some of his favorites: hovering kestrels  fragile chickadees  and the bald eagle soaring high
overhead. One day when Milo comes home  Grandpa isn't there. But when the boy sees an eagle
swooping through the sky above  he knows Grandpa is still with them: reborn in the skies  just
as he'd wanted. This honest  reflective  and deeply moving portrait of grief offers young
readers comfort and hope in difficult times. When Grandfather Flew celebrates the close 
beautiful relationships between children and grandparents  and the unique ways we keep lost
loved ones close. With a lyrical text by acclaimed author Patricia MacLachlan and vivid 
textural artwork by Chris Sheban  this wistful story will resonate with anyone who has felt the
loss of a loved one-- and will remind you to look for the reminders of the love you shared. A
