The Gift of Goodbye By Louise Cypress!!!


The Gift of Goodbye 
By Louise Cypress



Caleb will do anything to protect the people he loves--and his grandma is top of that list, especially now that she has Alzheimer's disease.

After Emma accidentally insults Grams, Caleb lashes out and makes fun of Emma's dyslexia. Emma's best friend Sydney rushes to her defense, starting a girls versus boys cartoon war that involves the whole sixth grade. Pencils ready, students of Whitman Elementary, prepare to battle!

When Sydney starts taking art lessons from Grams, she connects with Grams in a way that Caleb can't. Love, lost memories, and new friendships enable powerful conversations to happen, especially about the toughest topic of all--Alzheimer's disease.

If you're looking for a book to read with your kids to help them process a loved one moving to a memory care unit, this is it.

Audience: Young Reader+
Review: 

 Wow! This book is emotional, beautiful, and so full of knowledge for ALL ages! I loved this story too much and all of the characters. This is a young reader novel, so it has the cute young kid vibes. Jokes, laughs, heart ache. I love Sydney and Brian and unfortunately
their story is true for too many kids. I love that this book gives the audience perspectives from all different backgrounds. The story of how kids live, but also how they live with someone they love having Alzheimer's Disease is beautiful and heartbreaking. This author did an amazing job! <3

That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.”  Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.  The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there. Because I’ve since found out something else about Mr. Starry-Eyed.  He’s arrogant, cynical, and demanding. I should know. Thanks to a twist of fate, he’s my new boss. But that’s not going to stop me from...

"I ate them like salad..." Our love for books, regardless of their content.

Happy Banned Books Week readers! Usually, I don't think too much about banned books.  I have such a deep love for the written word that it never occurs to me that someone, somewhere could possibly take offense to the beautiful words these brilliant minds have shared with us.  The theme of this week however has forced me to stop for a second and think, "Where would I be without my books y'all?!" Emma and some of her favorite banned books :) One of my all time favorite books, FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury is not only a banned book, but it is also an insightful and deep commentary on censorship (how's that for irony eh?).  I was "fortunate" enough to read this book in high school.  I say "fortunate" because I know in my heart how blessed I was to study literature in school, however I struggled with the forced nature of reading created by needing to prove I had learned something from the material.  By the time I got to my Senior year when ...
