A warm hug of a book for any child who's missing someone they love.

Saturdays were Sam's favorite-Grampscakes dripping with syrup, lively chess matches, quiet moments spent birdwatching. Just Sam and Gramps, soaking up their special day together.

But when Gramps passes away, Sam is heartbroken-and Saturdays feel empty.

With his mom's gentle guidance, Sam begins to understand a powerful truth: even though Gramps is gone, the love they shared-and their cherished traditions-will always remain. Because like syrup on pancakes, love sticks around.

Saturdays with Gramps is a tender, heartfelt picture book that helps children process grief and loss with warmth, comfort, and hope. Through gentle storytelling and beautiful illustrations, it reminds readers that the bonds we build with those we love remain long after they're gone.
