Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3–The day of Grandpa Jack's funeral feels like the saddest day of Hope's life. After the service, she will never see him again. Then her Aunt Poogee helps her recall a fond occasion of blackberry picking with her grandfather, and she takes comfort in knowing that he will always be inside her heart and in her memories. The textured paintings nicely depict the child's emotions. Useful bibliotherapy for children dealing with the loss of a loved one.– Ajoke T. I. Kokodoko, Oakland Public Library, CA

From Booklist

PreS-Gr. 2. Grandpa has passed away, and Hope is sad. In her first-person narrative, she tells what it's like when relatives, especially Grandpa's sister Aunt Poogee, gather to remember. When Hope confides she's despondent that she'll never see Grandpa again, Aunt Poogee reminds her of all the good times they had with Jack. Then she closes her eyes and sees him holding Hope, fishing, and picking blackberries. Soon Hope can see him, too, and recalls a blackberry-picking excursion that started before dawn and was almost spoiled by a garter snake before ending with an enticing blackberry stew. Hope's realization that a loved one gone is still alive in memory will touch children who are going through a similar experience. Porter's warm family scenes are executed in thickly applied paints that give heft to the memories, which seem more real than the events that are being played out. An uplifting book that ends with a delicious blackberry-stew recipe to tie things together. Ilene Cooper
