32 pages illustrated by P.J. Lynch
A beautiful and moving picture book about the bond between a grandparent and child--and the enduring spirit of love.
This is a heart-warming, touching, delightfully illustrated book about a Grandad's walks in the outdoors with his grandson and how he teaches his grandson about nature and God. It is written and told in first person by the grandson. A wonderful book for bedtime reading to a child or grandchild...providing it doesn't make you cry each time.
"Grandad and I liked to go for walks in the woods together. We didn't walk very far. Or very fast. Or very straight. While we walked, I would ask him questions about things I wasn't sure of. One day I asked my Grandad about prayers". So Grandad tells his grandson as they take their walks together. Finally, the boy asks the hardest question of all. "Are our prayers answered, Grandad?". And one day, after his Grandad is gone, after many, many prayers, after the boy is grown, he finds the answer to his own question. |
