When Granny's old canary dies, she reminds Will and Molly that the bird will live on in their memories. Later, when Granny dies, the children realize that as they look at pictures and tell stories about her, Granny will also live on. The otherwise sensitive illustrations are marred by the fact that they show a parakeet rather than a canary.
