Elie, his toy lizard Woody, Grandpa, and Grandma do the same old things every Wednesday. But what’s old can be renewed, and what’s ordinary can become new and wonderful. A Book for Elie shows the surprises that patience and imagination can create for a toy, a boy, and his grandparents.

<p>It is summer 2002 in DC's Capitol Hill neighborhood, and Dee Young is heartsick after her husband Dan's death. Dee finds herself conducting two secret correspondences: one-way emails to Dan and two-way letters with Bathsua Reginald Makin, a 17th-century Londoner who was like Dee a teacher, writer, wife, and mother. From Dee's annus horribilis comes a celebration of the endurance of love, the evolution of grief, and the healing power of work.</p>
