The Two of Them

by Aliki

Book Overview

The day she was born, her grandfather made her a ring of silver and a polished stone, because he loved her already. Through the years, the little girl and her grandfather share so many happy times -- playing by the sea, walking in the mountains, working in his store. And when he grows sick, she takes care of him with as much love as he always showed her.

My Favorite Story!

A well-written story of a blossoming relationship between a grandfather and grandchild that ends too soon when the grandfather passes on teaching us that life is too short. Spend adequate time with the ones you love for the day will soon arrive when you must part ways. A warm-hearted read and truly my favorite book.

A beautiful story

This is the most beautiful story of a girl and her grandfather. I read this to my kindergarten class. I had tears streaming down my face before I finished. It is a touching, heartfelt book and I highly recommend it!

A beautiful story which reminds me of my fathers' life.

The Two Of Them is such a touching book. It makes me cry every time I read it. It's not a sad book, it just reminds me of the way my father was. My dad just past away in July 98 and this book seemed to describe how he was. I plan to add this one to my collection, and I look forward to reading some of your other books.
