The grandson loves spending time with his grandma. They do all sorts of interesting things together; they cook, knit, read and ride a bicycle. They are never bored. But there is a question that gnaws away at the grandson and that he keeps asking: When will you die? Grandma knows what worries her grandson—he loves her and would like to spend holidays with her forever. The picture book delicately and playfully opens the question of mortality and transience. How do children understand and accept death? A warm narrative with vivid and playful illustrations is a story of intergenerational coexistence, of wonderful moments that we can spend together, wishing they would never end.
