A gentle, soft, touching tale about letting go of a loved one.  Old Pig and Granddaughter have lived together for a long time, comfortable in the routines in which they help each other, but one day the routine is thrown off when Old Pig finds herself too tired to get up as usual for breakfast.  When she does finally feel well enough to get up, she’s still tired, but feels the need to make some preparations, including taking a long walk with Granddaughter celebrating the simple delights of life.  Granddaughter cares for Old Pig right up until”for the very last time Old Pig and Granddaughter held each other tight until morning.”  The soft illustrations beautifully capture and help to set the gentle mood of the story.  A wonderfully comforting book to share with someone facing their own loss.
