We’re not going to be able to be there forever
for our loved ones. It’s an inevitable fact of life that at some point someone
we care for will leave us and it can be hard to understand for those just
starting their own journey.
Grandad’s Island is a short but touching story about
Syd and his beloved Grandad. His Grandad has always been available and to see
him, all Syd had do to was travel to the bottom of his garden, though the gate
and past the tree to get to Grandad’s house. Except on this everyday visit,
Grandad takes Syd on a not so everyday imaginative adventure to a secret island
full of wonders. So wonderful, that Grandad decides to stay.
Written by Benji Davies, creator of The Storm
Whale, Grandad’s Island is a tender children’s book that helps parents explain
to their children that even though we can’t always see those who are dear to
us, they remain part of us by living in wondrous memories.
