When a five-year-old girl's beloved grandpa dies, she tells readers about the two services for him. Although her father has converted to Judaism, Grandpa's funeral is at a church. When the family returns home, they observe the Jewish customs of mourning. The warmth of this extended family is reinforced by the rich colors of the quiet watercolor illustrations.
