Tommy is four years old, and he loves visiting the home of his grandmother, Nana Downstairs, and his great-grandmother, Nana Upstairs. But one day Tommy's mother tells him Nana Upstairs won't be there anymore, and Tommy must struggle with saying good-bye to someone he loves.
This wonderful generational story, a classic in its own right, celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary in a new, full-color edition, joining the other appealing picture books in which Tomie dePaola draws upon his childhood memories.
In re-creating the art, Tomie said, "Creating this art was as emotional an experience for me now as it was then."
"In a quietly touching story the author-illustrator depicts loving family relationships so that even the very young reader can understand the concept." –Publishers Weekly
