Books about grandparent's death

For the parent wanting recommendations for books on aging and the elderly:

I highly recommend Tomie de Paola's book, "Nana Upstairs-Nana Downstairs." While it's about 20 years old, and can be checked out of the library, he also recently re-did the illustrations, so you should be able to find it at the book store. It's based on his own childhood experience when he was four years old.

One of my favorites is "Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs," or something like that, by Tomie de Paola. The relationship between the little boy and his great-grandma is wonderful. She dies at the end, though, and you may not be ready to talk about *that* just yet!
