Description: "In the darkness just before sunrise, a sleepy boy and his grandfather set off on Grandma's favorite walk to find her favorite place. Is it the woods where multicolored moths flutter? Or the stream with its leaping frogs and flashing trout? The hidden hollow where a mother deer lives with her fawn? As grandfather and grandchild stand gazing over the water to the horizon, and the sun begins to rise, it becomes clear to the boy that they've finally reached Grandma's favorite place--and it's the perfect spot to remember her"--

Review Quotes: The extraordinary mixed-media illustrations are explosions of natural beauty, with night scenes shaded in violets and blues broken up by a small illumination of a flashlight, a splash of yellow that hints at the climax of the story.
