Description
Kaddish for Grandpa in Jesus' Name Amen
by Catherine Stock
This gentle story approaches the subjects of family, grief, and religion as a little girl struggles to come to terms with her grandfather's death. A simple narrative takes readers through five-year-old Emily's thoughts and feelings as she remembers the things she and Grandpa shared and watches her parents and other relatives go through the process and rituals of grieving. Since Grandpa was Christian and Emily and her parents are Jewish (her father converted as an adult), the way each side of the family mourns is very different.
