Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This glowing picture book, by turns playful and poignant, portrays the tender relationship between a grandfather and granddaughter as they appreciate nature together over the years. They take their first walk in the woods when the little girl is barely old enough to toddle; their last when Grandfather can only shuffle along. Each walk brings a new discovery - a sneaky snake, flashing fireflies, teardrops on a spiderweb - and sometimes a lesson about saying good-bye. One day the girl walks alone, stronger because she learned from her grandfather how to be grateful for life's fleeting gifts.
On her many walks with her grandfather, a young girl learns to appreciate life and deal with death.
