Grandma's gloves by Cecil Castellucci,

Grandma's gloves by Cecil Castellucci, illustrated by Julia Denos. Walker, 2010. 

A young girl loves spending time with her grandmother – particularly gardening. However, dementia sets in – and, soon, her grandmother dies. Although the girl knows the realities of death, it doesn’t stop her missing her grandmother – and the things they did together. Although she is promised keepsakes, what she wants is to share her grandmother’s love of gardening – and to pass her inherited wisdom on, to her mother.
