Bookroo's summary
Luis, blind since birth, shares an unbreakable bond with his grandmother. Her love helps him 'see' her, even after she's gone. When she passes, Luis finds a mysterious gift she left behind. What secrets does it hold, and how will it guide him through his darkest days? This touching tale explores love's enduring power and the unseen connections that bind us.
From the publisher
Here is a story to read with someone you love. Louis and his grandmother are inseparable. They know each other so well that Louis feels he can even see his grandmother, though he has been blind since birth. That love carries him through the very worst moments when Gran is gone, and when Louis seems to be forgotten.
