VALERIE M. GRANT is not your typical author of books for young children. Her desire to write books for young readers came while working with children who face a variety of social issues that are not addressed in a format appropriate for them in many of todays books. In this, her second book, she addresses the death of a grandparent. Michelle and her grandfather, W.C., share a special bond that is broken when he becomes ill and passes away.
