Book Description
February 29th is a date that comes into existence just once every four years. It is also the birthday of Thaïs—author Anne-Dauphine Julliand’s darling daughter—who died of a genetic disease. Thaïs lived just shy of her fourth birthday. She had a short life but good one. As this special day is about to reappear on her calendar for the first time since her daughter passed away, Anne-Dauphine struggles with how to mark this momentous occasion. She wants to live fully on this special day: Thais would have been eight years old. Vivid memories of life with her daughter begin to blend with the present—every gesture, every word evokes a buried memory, arouses laughter or tears. Yet as the date of her daughter's birthday approaches, she knows she must not lose sight of the family who needs her now: her sons Gaspard and Arthur, and Azylis, her other daughter who is also sick. Anne-Dauphine's message remains simple, true, and strong: we all need to be loved and we all need to be happy despite our ordeals. This is both lesson in happiness and a wonderful love story—A Special Day is an honest, inspirational tale that has touched the hundreds of thousands of lives. It will leave the reader breathless with its beauty.

Book Description
The story depicts family values which emphasize love, respect and the sense of belonging. Every family has their "identified" family values that are passed on to children, grandchildren and to the next generation. Family gathering to celebrate birthdays, holidays and spending time together as a family, creates that sense of belonging. Family time, such as family dinner, sharing stories, and play time give children this foundation. In the story, the three children, Sye, Tomas, and Venida wanted to show love and appreciation by honoring their grandparents their own way. Honoring grandparents and treating them with care, love, and respect are the basis of family values instill in the children's family life. Sye, Tomas and Venida started their own family tradition by celebrating Grandparent's Day with the family every Thanksgiving Day. Why not create your family tradition? Be creative and let your family tradition start with you.
