The Return of Happy Harper Thursdays: The Guiding Light of a Grandmother's Love
In this sequel to Happy Harper Thursdays, Harper finally sees her grandmother again, now that a vaccine is available for the “nasty bug” that kept them apart. But, instead of feeling happy and excited, Harper is angry at Mama Fern because she stayed away for so many months. Harper refuses to talk to her grandmother and acts as if she doesn’t even know her. This colorful, delightfully illustrated book helps young children sort out their feelings and guides grandparents in how to navigate difficult situations. In The Return of Happy Harper Thursdays, children learn that even when they can’t see cherished family members, love burns brightly—like a light that’s always turned on.
