Sun & Spoon Hardcover - 1997
by Kevin Henkes
It has been only two months since Spoon Gilmore's grandmother died, but already he is worried that he will forget her. Spoon's life doesn't leave him much time to think, so he does something he soon regrets but cannot admit. With empathy and sensitivity Caldecott Honor recipient Kevin Henkes has created a poignant story of painful loss and amazing discovery.
From the rear cover
It had been only two months since Spoon Gilmore's grandmother died, but already he was worried that he would forget her. That's why he needed something of Gram's - something special that had belonged to her, something to remember her by.
Spoon wasn't quite sure what the something was, though he knew he would know it when he saw it. But Spoon's little sister, Joanie, did not leave him much time to look. She was always following him, demanding attention. Spoon didn't have the time he needed to think, or perhaps he wouldn't have done what he did.
