Sun and Spoon by Kevin Henkes

This is a story about family, wrapped up in one tiny book. But the story mainly centers around the love between a child named Spoon and his grandparents. When Spoon's grandmother passed, he wanted to get something from his grandparents' house that would remind him of her. Of all the stuff that he could choose from, he took something that this grandfather looks for, for moments when he gets lonesome.

Spoon secretly took it back and planned not to let anybody know what he did. But when his grandpa shared with him what he thought the disappearance and reappearance of that special thing meant -- that it was a sign from grandma in heaven -- Spoon ended up telling the truth of what he did, and the truth set both their hearts free.
