Sadie, Ori, and Grandma all love the soft blue "Together Blanket" that Grandma knit when Sadie was born. They use it for building forts, for snuggling and fun. As Sadie and Ori grow up and as Grandma gets older, too, the blanket continues to bring the family comfort in very special ways.
"It's hard not to be charmed by Fortenberry's simple, symmetrical paintings, and it's hard not to be moved when Sadie and Ori read Grandma the stories she once told them. Korngold and Fortenberry move beyond sentimentality to real sentiment."
Kirkus Reviews
"The realistic depiction of a contemporary grandparent - she not only teaches the children to cook but also gets down on the floor to play and runs alongside their tricycles - as well as the sensitive treatment of aging, make this a recommended addition to school and synagogue library collections."
AJL Newsletter
"A three hanky ending to a wise, wonderful book which delivers a familiar, real, but sad situation in a comforting way with touching vocabulary that will surely resonate with every family."
