Book Title: 先左腳, 再右腳 (Now one Foot, Now the Other)

先左腳, 再右腳

The following book description made by School Library Journal –
Bobby is named after his grandfather, Bob. Bob helps Bobby learn to walk, teaches him to build a block tower, and tells him stories. One day Bobby comes home and his grandfather isn’t there. Bobby’s parents tell him that his grandfather is sick and he doesn’t remember who anyone is. At first Bobby is scared, but when he builds a block tower for Bob the way they used to do together, he knows that his grandfather remembers him. Slowly Bob starts to get better, and then it’s Bobby’s turn to teach his grandfather something important. . . . Readers of all ages will relish in this classic, now in beautifully rich full color.

Before leaving for school, I promised my daughter to read a book to her.  She picked up this book.  As I started reading I was so touched that I even stopped to wipe my tears and continue to go through the reading.  It reminded me of those elderly people we visited regularly in nursing homes.  They suffer all kinds of diseases, so some of them aren’t able to move, walk, talk, or even show their emotions.  But they do feel, like Grandfather Bob understands how his grandson cares for him.  As Bobby relates to Bob, we do to those in need.
