What a Beautiful Morning by Arthur Levine, Katie Kath

5.0

A lovely, touching book about a boy who spends summers with his grandparents, and what happens when his grandfather starts to forget things. The grandparent with Alzheimers storyline hits very close to home for me, and this book was a beautiful tribute to how we try to hold on to the good, lucid moments. It handles the disease in a way that is not scary and appealing for young children to try to understand a confusing thing. The watercolor illustrations are very sweet, and the use of gray for a visual indication of the loss is powerful.
