![]() ![]() ![]() He also remembers the times that his parents were away and how safe and comfortable his grandfather made him feel, and most of all that he misses him. ![]() ![]() Lew remembers different aspects of this grandfather (including his smoking pipe – very 1974). He retells the story that his grandfather was there at night when he woke up and need to reassured. The book shows an ethereal image of the grandfather in all white. His amazing candor and appreciation remind his mother that while her father may be gone, he left a lasting impression. Unbeknownst to his mother, Lew has fond and vivid memories of this grandfather. In this 1974 book (an oldie but still a goodie) Lew wakes from his sleep amid dreams that remind him of the good times with his grandfather. His memories touch not only his mother in the story, but the reader as well (at least they did for me). Based on the title, I thought it would be a heartwarming tale of a Grandpa and a Grandson going on a trip (the cover has Grandpa with a suitcase and a joyful Lew hugging his leg), but instead it is a simple yet thoughtful story of a boy who remembers his Grandpa after he has passed. In our search, we found a tiny treasure of a book called My Grandson Lew. The task is quite difficult, unless the library is savvy enough to make a display – which ours did not. As part of a pre-Father’s Day tradition that we are starting with our son, we walk to the local library and find books that focus on dads or grandpas. ![]()
