This touching picture book follows young Rachel as she tries to understand what will happen to her grandfather when he dies. With a gentleness and poignancy that crosses three faiths, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, readers are left with an understanding of acceptance and inner peace.

The title of this bittersweet book is Zayde Comes to Live---to live and not to die. (Zayde is Yiddish for "grandfather.") As the family's rabbi explains, "He is living, Rachel, until the moment he dies." The book is narrated by Rachel, as she starts to come to terms with her grandfather's terminal illness and realize the importance of making memories with her grandfather while he is still alive. The story ends while Zayde is still alive.

The illustrations are colorful and gentle and work well with the text.… (mais)
