<\/a><\/div>\n

A gorgeous silky hardback book with thick paper that carries images and text sharing a poignant and lovely story with us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rhian Stone\u2019s gentle pictures capture dear Grandad\u2019s love for sharing his knowledge and excitement about space and planets and stars whilst giving us such a sense of his vast subject \u2026 and then the closing in of Grandad\u2019s memory as time passes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Frances Tosdevin\u2019s kind and insightful story shows how Grandad\u2019s wonder, determination and knowledge is passed on his grandchild. Her first-person narrative by that little girl reflects the confusion and sadness as she observes Grandad failing, finally to even forgetting her name. But she can return the favour he has done her, now showing and naming for him the stars in the sky. She even names one after him, fulfilling his dream; the Alpha Grandadi Loveliest. Throughout we see the middle generation mum kindly enabling both young and old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What an uplifting depiction of family love.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
