The majority of the book is spent establishing and detailing the relationship between Shane and Peter and their grandfather. Pappa dies soon after a visit from the boys. The boys attend the funeral and then spend the night at Pappa's house. Their mother comforts them with the advice that they should "[t]hink of all the happy times you had." A lyrical text with soft illustrations. It does not help explain death, or help ease the grieving process, but would provide a good starting point for a discussion on the topic.
