About this book:

Whales played in the ocean below the cliff paths where Ben and Grandpa had often walked. “Mysterious and magnificent creatures,” Grandpa would say. “Flying giants of the sea!” But just before summer things changed: Grandpa stayed in bed . . . days passed. And then Grandpa died. This gentle story about bereavement will strike a chord with both children and adults and will help children process and accept the loss of a loved one.
