For Katie, nothing compares to Thanksgiving at Grandma's. There's an overnight ride to Grandma's house on the train. There are the aunts and uncles, whom Katie loves to see each year. Most of all, there is Grandma, who stays close to Katie though they live far apart. But a cherished object is broken at dinner, and Katie blames herself for spoiling the day. Then Grandma shows Katie her memory cupboard. And Katie realizes that though we grow attached to our possessions, it is people who really matter. Charlotte Herman's tender story and Ben F. Stahl's rich paintings make a book that families will treasure.
