<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"After her grandfather's death, a young girl explores her Baba Bazorg's house. As the girl wanders through the house, almost idly, her Baba Bazorg's house stands in for the man himself, with each object she describes standing as a touchstone to a memory, and each memory serving as a window into the relationship between the child and her grandfather. As she looks through its rooms, the things she sees and the object she touches bring to life memories of the man she knew, and also the man she didn't know."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A heartwarming look at love, loss, and memorable objects through the eyes of a child by critically-acclaimed creators Naseem Hrab and Nahid Kazemi</b><br>"Deeply evocative ... A beautifully poignant celebration of memories of a loved one that live on in those that remain." -- <em>Kirkus Reviews - STARRED REVIEW</em><em><br></em><br>After her grandfather's death, a young girl wanders through his house. As she tours each room, the objects she discovers stir memories of her grandfather--her baba bozorg. His closet full of clothes reminds her of the mints he kept in his pockets. His favorite teacup conjures thoughts of the fig cookies he would offer her. The curtains in the living room bring up memories of hide-and-seek games and the special relationship that she and her baba bozorg shared, even though they spoke different languages. <p/><br><i>The Sour Cherry Tree</i> is an authentic look at death and loss centred on the experiences of a child, both strikingly whimsical and matter-of-fact. Drawing on the Iranian-Canadian author's childhood memories, this tender meditation on grief, love, and memory is at once culturally specific and universally relatable. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A portrait of a beloved grandfather who kept mints in his pockets, <br>liked fig cookies, and 'spoke Farsi loudly but English quietly.'"-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"<em>The Sour Cherry Tree</em> lives on beyond the page. From the <br>expanse of grief to a message of hope, it embodies what the young girl <br>perhaps most loved about her grandfather: that he loved her."-- "Quill & Quire - STARRED REVIEW"<br><br>"This book gives voice to the hidden aspects of grief, the small token, <br>the remembered word or gesture that defines memories. It's an essential <br>guide to mourning, in its earliest stages, for the young."-- "School Library Journal - STARRED REVIEW"<br><br><br> <p>"A universally relatable story that articulates a difficult<br> concept for younger audiences, with a heartfelt message about loss and <br>the memories of loved ones."</p>-- "Booklist - STARRED REVIEW"<br><br>Deeply evocative ... A beautifully poignant celebration of memories of a loved one that live on in those that remain.-- "Kirkus Reviews - STARRED REVIEW"<br>
