Winner of 6 national awards I want to give you a little something... Every time a young girl visits her grandmother, the visit ends with the grandmother's familiar words. Then she gives her granddaughter a small keepsake. As the years pass, the grown granddaughter comes to understand the significance of all the things she has received from her grandmother. It becomes clear that one gift is most precious of all, the gift of love. Richly illustrated in warm, golden tones by award-winning artist Laurie McGaw, A Little Something by Susan V. Bosak is about love and legacies across generations. One reviewer described the story as having the emotion of 'Love You Forever' and the charm of a Norman Rockwell painting. It's about the little things that matter most and make the memories that endure -- a smile, a hug, a simple touch of the hand. It moves you each and every time you read it, and leaves you with a smile.
