Bookroo's summary

A grandfather's love is symbolized by a silver ring given at birth. As they share joyful moments by the sea and in the mountains, their bond deepens. When illness strikes, the granddaughter must care for him, reflecting the love he always showed her. How will their connection endure through life's challenges?

From the publisher

“The day she was born, her grandfather made her a ring of silver and a polished stone, because he loved her already.” Through the years, the little girl and her grandfather share so many happy times–playing by the sea, walking in the mountains, working in his store. And when he grows sick, she takes care of him with as much love as he always showed her.
