Summary: This book tells the story about a young boy, Arlo, who visits his nana every Sunday. But, one Sunday turns out to be very different when Arlo learns that nana has passed away. He keeps her sweetie jar to make him feel closer to her. Arlo brings the jar with him everywhere, but, gradually, a storm builds up inside the jar as well as a storm of anger inside himself. One day he smashes the jar, and, slowly, he finds a way to navigate his way through the storm and come to terms with accepting the loss of nana. Together with his parents, they establish a new and beautiful tradition of remembering nana.
