Illustrated by
Floyd Cooper.
Sarah, who lives with her grandparents, mourns when her grandfather dies, but Grandpa's belief about the continuation of life--"everything and everyone goes on and on"--which he told all of his children and grandchildren during his life, comforts her. Impressionistic illustrations, which focus on the characters in this tender story, convey both Sarah's grief and the hope that sustains her.
