Book request: Hello all! I'm looking for this book that I read back in elementary school. It's about a girl who loses her grandfather unexpectedly, and feels badly because she didn't get a chance to say goodbye properly. The book was set in some coastal town in the U.S. (I want to say Maine so badly) and was published in the late 80s, early 90s. I cannot remember the title of the book for anything, but strangely, I do remember the cover image. Here is the link to the cover, please let me know if you can see it: http://www.shannonassociates.com/arti...It's the picture of the little girl sitting under the table, looking surprised when the baby lifts up the cover and finds her. Thanks for everything, and I look forward to hearing from anyone. Toodles!
