Eventually, he moves to a nursing home. At first, the nursing home feels cold and unfriendly. Ella and Linus don’t know how to connect with Grandpa there, and they miss the way he used to be. But everything improves when Grandpa moves to a new, warm nursing home where the staff welcomes visitors as part of the care team. Slowly, Ella and Linus grow comfortable in this new environment. Though it takes time, the siblings find the courage to hug Grandpa, sparking a moment of connection that bridges the gap caused by his illness. From there, they discover new ways to enjoy time with him—taking him on wheelchair “adventures” through the halls, sharing treats, and spending time as a family. Through gentle storytelling and heartfelt illustrations, Grandpa, Can I Have a Hug? helps children understand that even though loved ones may change, the love they share remains strong. The story offers comfort and encourages young readers to find new ways to connect, showing that love can endure even through the hardest changes.

Lily was a little lamb who liked to play in the green meadows with her friends. All day she would run, jump, and chase butterflies. But one afternoon, as she played near the edge of the field, she spotted a bright red flower in the distance. “I’ll be right back!” she yelled to her friends as she sprinted toward it. But the more she walked, the more distant the flower became. Soon, Lily glanced around and realized that she was lost. The tall trees seemed to close in around her, and she could no longer see her home. Lily began to cry. “Shepherd! Where are you?” she called but did not receive an answer. Then she heard a familiar voice in the distance. It was the Good Shepherd, calling her name! “Lily! Where are you?” “I’m here!” she cried, her little heart filled with hope. The Shepherd rushed to her side, cradling her in His arms. “You just wandered away, my child,” He smiled. “But I have found you, and I am taking you home.” Lily cuddled up close to feel safe and loved. When they came back to the meadow, all her friends cheered. The Shepherd smiled and replied, “I will never stop looking for my lost sheep and bringing them back home.” So from that day forward, Lily, among the flock with the Shepherd, knew He would always love and protect her. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” —Psalm 23:1
