Charlie loves to dance her way through life with her grandma. They may not always be together, but each time they part Grandma says, “If you miss me, look at the moon.” Then winter brings unexpected change, and not even dancing feels the same. What will Charlie do? Will Grandma come to see her dance again? In the biggest show of the year, Charlie finds her answer. This tender exploration of loss
Why I like this book: If You Miss Me is a book about a child doing her first recital but it’s filled with grief. Her grandmother likes her dancing, but the grandmother is unable to watch her dance. The moon helps her dance.
