Tender intergenerational story!
DEAR MR. G is a tender story of a friendship between a child and his older neighbor, Mr. G. It’s satisfying to turn the pages and watch as their friendship grows – right along with the roses they tend together. The ending is heartfelt and touches on important topics of death and grief, and how to keep someone’s memory alive. The illustrations are warm and inviting, and propel the story along in between letters. This book shows young readers a positive intergenerational friendship, highlights letter writing as a way to communicate, and shows ways to cope with death. I highly recommend this book for any children’s bookshelf!
