Join the family as they learn the joys and sorrows of taking care of Grandmother Myrtle.

Mrs. Yoder wrote this book openly and honestly. She used simple language that is easy for children to read and understand, while the sentence structure still supports a read-aloud. This book is a great addition to any library!
