When she gives him her favorite peacock feather, he doesn't even thank her. Worse yet, he won't come to school for Grandfather's Day. Then Raydeen learns the truth about Grampa Grimly: The sad man is grieving for his recently departed wife. Maybe Raydeen can make him happy again. Here is a warm and deeply felt story of a spirited young girl determined to mend her grandfather's broken heart.
