The Storyteller by Lindsay Bonilla

5.0

wow. beyond the stunning illustrations, this textual storytelling is wonderful. I was drawn into the charm and enchantment of the relationship of the child and the storyteller (his grandmother); so much so that as age caught up with her, I felt the grief.
This one has one of the best 'letting go' moments and transitions of the loss of a loved one that I've read in a long time. She literally becomes the stuff of legends/stories and the grandson facilitates it in such a magically real way. gorgeous.
did I almost cry at work reading this? yes.
