3 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
Xiao Le's grandmother lives in a faraway village. A visit with Grandma is always a special event, but this time she is frail. With encouragement from his mom, Xiao Le plays with and helps Grandma. When Grandma dies shortly thereafter, Xiao Le comforts his momreminding her that when it rains, Grandma is washing her clothes in the sky . . . and that although the Perfume Village in heaven cannot be reached by train, it can be accessed by the heart. Fang Suzhen's moving story, with stunning illustrations by Sonja Danowski, is a powerful reminder that love transcends all.

The art is spectacular in this sad, yet comforting picture book. A little boy visits his dying grandmother for the last time. It is handled well, although there is a bit too much emphasis on heaven for this secular mom. But it is sweet and would be completely worth reading just for the art alone.
