My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry

"My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry" introduces seven-year-old Elsa, a precocious and imaginative child who feels like an outsider, save for her equally eccentric and fiercely protective grandmother. Her Granny, a former surgeon, explorer, and general rule-breaker, is Elsa's best and only friend, sharing a secret world of fairy tales set in the mythical Kingdom of Miamas and the Land-of-Almost-Awake.

When Granny tragically passes away, she leaves Elsa a series of enigmatic letters, each containing an apology to someone Granny has wronged, and a task for Elsa to deliver them. This scavenger hunt forces Elsa out of her comfort zone and into the lives of her apartment building's peculiar residents. As Elsa delivers the letters, she begins to unravel the true stories behind her grandmother's fairy tales, discovering the interconnectedness of her community, the hidden sorrows and kindnesses of its inhabitants, and the extraordinary legacy of the woman she thought she knew so well. The journey becomes a poignant exploration of grief, forgiveness, love, and the enduring power of storytelling to heal and connect generations.
