As the child's parents pack their wagon for the long trip to Oregon, Lydia anguishes over the fact that her grandmother is staying behind. Who will braid her hair? Who will tell her stories and make little bark boats with her? Lydia is so upset that she decides she doesn't want to go along with her mother and father. Now it's up to the child's grandmother to explain to Lydia that there are ways she can keep her fond memories alive even if the two are thousands of miles apart. The wise old woman's suggestions form the heart of this story, and they will help any child who might be feeling the pang of separation from a beloved friend or family member. This is an ideal book to give a youngster whose family must move to a new home far away from other family members or longtime friends. Not only will it help assuage the pain of the relocation, but within the story the child will also discover ways of holding the ones left behind firmly in his heart.     web reviews   Bob Walch/2009 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
