Nana Upstairs & Nana Downstairs - Hardcover

The soft, matte finish on the cover feels so nice to hold, and the illustrations are as gentle as the story's message about saying goodbye. My 5-year-old asked good questions after we read it together, which made the tough topic much easier to handle.

This book's hardcover binding feels sturdy enough for repeated bedtime readings. The gentle way it handles a heavy topic like loss helped my kids ask their own questions naturally.

My four-year-old actually sat still for the whole book, which never happens. The hardcover is sturdy enough for little hands. I just wish the ending had a bit more closure for such a heavy topic.
