I absolutely love this story! It's both beautiful and sad. The first part of the story tells about the friendship between Little Thunder and his grandfather, while the second part is about how Little Thunder has to learn how to deal with the approaching death of his grandfather, where it's his grandfather who helps him understand about death. I can read this story again and again. It's not in print anymore, but I can advice you to try and find it.
