Description:
Grandparents age. It's a fact of family life. This book deals sensitively with the changing relationship between a young granddaughter and a suddenly ailing grandparent, who were formerly a gardening team. The child's parents at first feel helpless and upset that Grandpa will have to leave his beloved butterfly garden, and live in a nursing home after a stroke confines him to a wheelchair. With imagination and the urgent pleas of the granddaughter, the family build a "wheelchair garden" that can be tended with special tools. The butterflies that have special meaning for Grandpa and his granddaughter return and the story has a happy ending.
