# Dear Mr. G - Hardcover

by **Christine Evans** (Author), **Gracey Zhang** (Illustrator)

**A gentle and moving story about an intergenerational friendship between a young child and their neighbor told through a series of letters, for fans of _Ida, Always_.**  
When Jackson's soccer ball accidentally lands in his neighbor's rose bush, he thinks he's ruined Mr. Graham's roses forever. So he quickly writes a letter to Mr. Graham that blossoms into a marvelous friendship. Jackson writes letters, highlighting the everyday moments to make them feel larger than life, and Mr. G keeps writing back until the very end of his life, encouraging Jackson to live each day to the fullest.

This breathtakingly beautiful epistolary story shows the strength of letter-writing and intergenerational bonds. The text is accompanied by tender and evocative artwork to remind us that even as seasons change, our loved ones always stay in our hearts.
