Book Synopsis

When a young boy visits his grandfather, their lack of a common language leads to confusion, frustration, and silence. But as they sit down to draw together, something magical happens – with a shared love of art and storytelling, the two form a bond that goes beyond words.

Our Review Panel says...

Nominated for Favourite Books of 2018 by: Simon Smith (@smithsmm), headteacher and blogger at smithsmm.wordpress.com With very few words, this book shows us the power of unspoken language. The generation gap between the grandfather and his grandson fades away as they sketch and unite on paper. What starts with dread slowly becomes joy as the generation gap is crossed and grandfather and grandson cross both the age barrier and the language barrier to celebrate being with each other.
