Young Sarah can't sleep following her grandpa's funeral. So she wakes up her dad in the middle of the night. He agrees to take her where Grandpa used to take him as a boy — to the lighthouse. On the way there, Sarah and her dad drink coffee and eat donuts — just as Grandpa would have liked. When they climb up to the top of the lighthouse, Sarah throws a flower out to sea in her grandpa's memory. Robert Munsch has crafted a heart-warming, tender story about honouring those who have passed and keeping their memory alive.
