Can a young girl mend her grandpa's broken heart?
Ten-year-old Dottie Bing loves solving problems, but when her grieving Grandpa Walter moves in, she faces her toughest challenge yet: healing a broken heart. As Dottie navigates the delicate balance between sadness and joy, she must find the right questions to ask. Can she help her grandpa find peace after losing Grandma Ima, or will this be the one puzzle she can't solve? Join Dottie on a heartfelt journey of discovery and healing, where every question leads to unexpected answers.
An enchanting middle grade about navigating the odd spaces between grieving and everyday living, and learning to carry sadness in one hand, and joy in the other. Ten-year-old Dottie Bing is a problem-solver and question-asker who is never more gleeful than when she’s encountering a new dilemma– whether it’s her own, or someone else’s. But when her Grandpa Walter comes to stay (and stay, and stay!) he brings the biggest question that Dottie has ever encountered: How do you heal a broken heart? You see, Grandpa Walter is grieving the loss of his beloved wife, Dottie’s Grandma Ima. Even though she knows every solution starts with a question, for the first time in her life, Dottie isn’t sure what to ask.
