“My Grandpas used to take me and my brother to the zoo every Sunday. We'd see the tigers and giraffes. We'd eat popcorn and ice cream. We loved our special time together.”

This is a story of the love shared by a grandfather, who develops ALS, and his grandchild who learns to accept and understand the disease. Their special bond remained unchanged. This book is best suited to the pre or early reader, but will touch those of any age.
