What is My Great Grandpa about?

A young girl loves spending time with her great-grandpa, even though he is slow, has weak eyes and cannot walk. He remembers the town as it was long ago, recalling people and places that others have forgotten. Sometimes he becomes tired or grumpy, but she understands that he carries a lifetime of special memories. As they sit together, she realises that her great-grandpa knows things no one else does, and that their loving friendship is something truly precious.
