It’s Just Aging: A Story About Growing Up

Lily is a playful young girl who loves her Tutu and Papa. On this beautiful day in Hawaii, Lily learns how to make her Tutu’s famous banana bread and, in the process, discovers some of the benefits and challenges of growing up.

This story was written by two students in the Iolani School One Mile Project class and Colby Takeda, an administrator with The Plaza Assisted Living. It is their hope that stories like this can help children begin to understand the aging process and continue to form important intergenerational relationships.
