A gentle, delicately illustrated story about loss that has a cosmic dimension.
A boy’s grandfather goes away suddenly, never to return. How could he leave so suddenly? His smell remains in his sweater, and his shoes are there to be worn. Plus, his friends at the fountain just saw him! The boy lingers in the midst of his grandfather’s things and starts to imagine him returning to the planets and stars, the faraway home from which he must have come.
