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.

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.
