Featuring an evocative text and luminous paintings, this stunning book celebrates the power of stories--how they connect us, inspire us, and keep memories alive.

Griffin's grandmother spins the most marvelous stories, from breathtaking fairy tales to fascinating family lore. These stories fuel his imagination and fill their days with magic.
