In Where's Grandma? , Jordyn is filled with questions: Where did her great-grandma go? What does it mean to transition? Through her mother's gentle guidance, Jordyn learns to process her grief by cherishing the joyful memories they shared. From playing games to watching her favorite movie together, Jordyn finds solace in remembering the special moments, while the book's vivid illustrations help bring her emotions to life. This thoughtful portrayal of loss resonates deeply with readers and is a resource for children to better understand their feelings during bereavement.
The Literary Titan review praised the book as "a heartfelt picture book that thoughtfully explores the experience of young Jordyn as she faces the difficult reality of losing her grandmother." The review also commended author Tracey Smith for her compassion and skill in addressing such a sensitive topic, stating, "This story will undoubtedly strike a chord with young readers, offering them valuable insight into how they can process feelings of sadness and loss."
Tracey Smith began her journey into children's literature with her first book, A Day in Quarantine with Jordyn: Jordyn's Journeys , inspired by her granddaughter's experiences during COVID. Since then, Smith has continued to bring Jordyn's world to life with her newest addition, Where's Grandma? , which has now earned her the title of award-winning author. The Literary Titan Gold Book Award is given to books that exhibit exceptional writing, thought-provoking themes, and originality, and Smith's book stands as a shining example in the realm of children's literature.
Smith's work is a tool for families to begin conversations about loss. The book also includes journaling pages where children can reflect on their own emotions. These unique features make Where's Grandma? an essential resource for any family navigating grief.
