A glowingly colourful journey of remembered joy, managed grief and renewed delight in living... their balance of spacious expanse and intricate detail, are warming as a woodstove, evoking the sense of a whole shared life * TLS *
This picture book, in which a girl helps her grandfather embrace life again following the death of Gramps, may well aid young readers in understanding others' grief -- Nell Baram * Shelf Awareness *
This book deserves pride of place on any bookshelf, be it in a library, school, or home... as warm and friendly as a kind grandparent * Kirkus Reviews *
This poignant tale acknowledges the sadness of losing a loved one, but also celebrates the pleasure of remembering those who have touched our lives. The illustrations are full of warmth, colour and joy, beautifully echoing the excitement of discovery and adventure * BookTrust *
