“Written with grace and charm, this is the poignant tale of a young girl coming to terms with the departure of her beloved grandfather. In the beginning Marie tries to persuade Poppa to stay the winter. But as the story evolves and the two share a final magical afternoon, fear turns to hope as Marie realizes that no matter how far Poppa travels, he will always be close to her heart.”
