A beautiful and heartwarming story of loss and memories.

The boy and his family spend the next night and day remembering Grandpa and sharing stories with each other. From his stylish hats, to piano duets, and apple squares for dessert, warm memories of Grandpa shine like stars with them while the yahrzeit candle burns – and continue to shine when it goes out.

This picturebook features the Jewish memorial tradition of a yahrzeit candle and also perfectly demonstrates how happy memories of our loved ones help us deal with grief and how we can share memories.

The endnotes detail more on the Jewish calendar and memorial traditions, which is perfect for a topic on Judaism or for sharing to raise awareness of other faiths.
