But no matter the weather, whatever they do, their joy is in being together, in the small - but momentous - adventures that they share.With vivid illustrations and read-aloud words, this is a tender celebration of grandparent love from the duo behind the bestselling and acclaimed Pick a Pine Tree and Pick a Pumpkin.
