Grandpa looks forward to Sundays more than any other day. That's when his three grandchildren arrive for their weekly visit. Together they perform theatrical productions, hunt for fireflies as evening falls, and mark Jewish holidays with special celebrations. The children shower him with praise and tell him he's the greatest grandfather in the world. But Grandpa questions their admiration. He sees himself as nothing more than an ordinary man living an unremarkable life. Should he tell them the truth about who he really is? Through their shared activities and quiet moments together, both grandfather and grandchildren discover something important about love and family. The story reveals how ordinary people become extraordinary through the eyes of those who love them most.
