I Miss You Most

Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3

A girl remembers her grandfather fondly in this heartwarming, comforting picture book about coping with loss.

The memories of a beloved grandpa bring sadness but also solace to the young girl in this glowing and nourishing book. We see the close and lively relationship they shared and all the ways she has been enriched by knowing him—the ways he will always be there for her. This book is just right for starting necessary conversations about grief, and for paying tribute to the loved ones we’ve lost.

“When I miss you dearly, which is almost every day, I know your love is with me and will never go away.”
