Illustrated by
Melissa Sweet.
Albert and his grandma have a long-distance relationship made special by phone calls, letters, photographs, and presents. He is very excited when he learns she is coming to visit, but when the moment arrives, he is suddenly shy. With understanding and patience Grandma cleverly helps him overcome his shyness. Gentle illustrations complement a story that should strike a chord with many children.
