“An effective tool for teaching empathy, and the intergenerational bond at the story’s center is a heartstrings puller. 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.” Shelf Awareness
Gramps and Grandad were adventurers. They would surf, climb mountains, and tour the country in their amazing camper. Gramps just made everything extra special. But after Gramps died, granddad hasn’t felt like traveling anymore. So, their amazing granddaughter comes up with a clever plan to fix up the old camper and get Grandad excited to explore again.
This beautiful board book, shaped like Grandad’s Camper itself, honors love and reminds us not only to remember those we have lost, but to celebrate them.
