Bookroo's summary

Àdùké adores her Grandma, who fills her days with songs and treats. But when Grandma mysteriously vanishes, Àdùké is left with questions. Her aunt Yímiká reveals a secret: can the moon hold the key to seeing Grandma again? As Àdùké grapples with loss, she embarks on a journey of discovery, where the night sky might just offer unexpected answers. Will she find a way to reconnect with her beloved Grandma, or is the truth hidden among the stars?

From the publisher

Àdùké lives with her grandparents in Ibidan and Grandma is her favourite person in the world. She loves when Grandma sings to her, and gives her treats from her stall. But one day, Àdùké comes home from school and can’t find Grandma anywhere! Àdùké doesn’t understand why Grandma can’t come back, but then her aunt Yímiká tells her a secret. Can she really see Grandma if she squints up at the moon?
