My Grandpa

Grandpa Bear is getting old. Sometimes he gets lost, sometimes he is confused – but always his beloved grandson is there to keep him company and have fun.

Using a limited palette of soft colours – red, brown, black and white – Martha Altes tells a moving story about the special relationship between an elderly grandfather and his grandson in this charming picture book, which comes with a dedication ‘to all the grandmas and grandpas’. Altes approaches her subject with a warmth, sensitivity and a distinctive lightness of touch: her stylish artwork is sure to appeal to parents, but children will equally love her quirky, humorous and characterful illustration style.
