Bookroo's summary
Rhondy faces a challenge when her grandmother becomes despondent over their impending move. Despite songs, dances, and gifts, nothing seems to lift Grandmama's spirits. Rhondy must find a way to remind her of the joy they share, proving that sometimes a child's resourcefulness can outshine an adult's despair. Can Rhondy rekindle the happiness they once knew and reassure Grandmama that their bond is unbreakable, no matter where they live?
From the publisher
When Rhondy can’t seem to cheer Grandmama up with a song, a dance, or a gift from the backyard, she tries the one thing she’s sure will work. Rhondy reminds Grandmama what she said about her when they first came to live together: “That’s my joy, that’s Grandmama’s joy. Long as I got my joy, I’ll be all right.” “As sometimes happens, the child is more resourceful than the adult
