On their sixth birthdays all of Gran's grandchildren get a special handmade rag doll from her. Kimberly is the youngest of the cousins and the last to get her doll--so there are "ten cousins and nine rag dolls."
But when Gran dies suddenly, Kimberly feels "sad and lonely, angry and confused."
She will miss her Gran and all their special times cooking and gardening together, and she will never have her special doll made just for her from Gran. Or will she?
Gran has one final special gift for Kimberly. This poignant story celebrates family love and traditions--perfect for young listeners, early readers, and adults.
