When Great-Grandmother was born, a bluebird sang. Her mother and father held her close, and the bluebird sang of beginnings and light... The spirit of the bluebird's song remains with Great-Grandmother throughout her life. Whether she's a girl of six who sets a rabbit free with a hug, or a grandmother who throws mud-puddle parties in the spring, Great-Grandmother fills her life to the brim. She even collects a secret treasure! Great-Grandmother's children tell their children who tell their children about the treasure. Yet no one ever sees it. Finally, the family forgets about it altogether. But as the bluebird sings a last song for Great-Grandmother, the treasure is revealed, and what was hidden away turns out to be very real and absolutely priceless. Ruth Hickcox's incredibly warm and moving tale, paired with David Soman's exuberant art, will touch readers of all ages, and is a beautiful tribute to what truly brings riches to one's life.
