About this eBook
A heartwarming story about love beyond words. Every night, Maria and Lolo, her grandfather, draw together. Maria marvels at how Lolo can draw anything: Lola cooking, sampaguita blooming, maya birds perching. One day, though, things start to change. Lolo is not well. And when Maria asks him to draw, he says he needs to rest. Not long after, Lolo begins forgetting people’s names, and soon he cannot find the words for what he wants. Maria tries to find some way to help Lolo communicate – could their shared love of drawing be the answer? This sweet and moving picture book shows the power of art, even when words fail us.
