Come back, Grandma by Sue Limb, illustrated by Claudio Muñoz. Red Fox, 1995.
This is the story of Bessie and her relationship with Grandma, who always has time for her. But one day Grandma dies, and Bessie misses her. Bessie sees Grandma's face in the curtains and the trees, and tries to see Heaven at night. There are brief discussions about Grandma being part of nature, or reincarnated, so Bessie tries to see who Grandma has been reincarnated as. The length of grief is mentioned, as Bessie still misses Grandma when she grows up. The loneliness is eased when Bessie's little girl grows up with many of Grandma's characteristics.
