8yo Swara is living in India during the pandemic. Her favorite grandmother contracts COVID and passes away. Swara is sure that her grandmother has not passed away and is just missing. Will she find a way to make peace with the truth? 

I really enjoyed reading this book! It was interesting to get a glimpse of how children in India lived during the pandemic. It is also a beautiful book about coping with loss. I found myself thinking of my own favorite grandmother who passed away when I was young. All main characters are of Indian descent.
