There is a special love between children and their grandparents. This deceptively simple story of an old farmer and his granddaughter will catch you by surprise.
This friendship between a tree stump, a lonely grandfather and his chatty granddaughter will melt the hardest heart. The best thing to do after reading this story is for every parent or grandparent and grandchild to give each other the biggest bear hug imaginable, and then go outside to hug a tree, together. This beautifully illustrated story is geared for children ages 6-9 but will warm the heart of everybody who feels that every moment with their child is precious. Is there a message in this heartfelt tale? While life has loss, more importantly, it has love and the joy of sharing.
As you enjoy this special time in your life with your young child remember that "Forever is a short time."
