Grandpa Went to Heaven by Amber Richards
What I like about this book are many things.
Author explains to the parents at the end what to focus on and not make things complicated for young children.
Pictures with words are easy to understand with things the young children is familiar with.
Reassuring that this is one thing you don't have to go overboard on with the recent death of your loved one.
The Geyser Girl of Yellowstone Park by Myrtle Brooks
Story of Old Faithful and the girl who lives inside the hot springs.
What I liked about this book was detailed descriptions of the nature in the area.
There are many stories inside this book.
One is about the Halpens, Ned who is a cavalryman/ranger in the park who spends his life keeping law and order.
Fllower of the Steam Basin is another and I like how others she trusts teach her words and other useful life lessons as she goes from the hot springs life to one of a girlfriend of one who lives in town/comes to visit during the summer months.
Story of Ned goes many decades and how each one has a link to the park and keeping order.
Best part of the book for me was the vow Flower of the Steam Basin makes when her mother dies. She also runs with the wild animals in the park as if they are her sister.. She is at ease with them and helps others survive the traps and other harmful things that occur.
