Gracie tried different things to make Bubbe happy again. “She hardly even smiled.” Gracie missed all the things she used to do with Zayde too-talks about science and sharing inside jokes.

In fact, fall and the lead-in to the holidays is one of the busiest times of the year for publishers as they release wonderful books that share traditions and take readers through the winter in thoughtful, funny, and always surprising ways. Even though we’re saying goodbye to Read a New Book Month, families don’t have to stop seeking out new books at their local bookstore or library. ![]()
