Translated by Suzanne Freeman. 48 p., Greenwillow, 2001.
A rabbit child (who can be seen as either male or female) remembers the enjoyment of spending Wednesdays with Granny. The child remembers how one Wednesday, they could not spend the day together because Granny was in the hospital, and then died. When the family attends Granny's funeral, the child wonders whether this means she is gone forever. Mama responds that no one knows for sure what happens after death, but that in some way, Granny will always be with the child because the child loves her. The child is sad at first, but later has happy memories of the time with Granny. This story shows children how good memories can comfort them when someone has died.
