Description
When Syd goes to visit his grandad in the familiar places around the garden, he finds something unexpected: Grandad is waiting in the attic, guiding him through a door to a wild, color-soaked island unlike any other. Together, they share a final, tender journey that turns absence into presence—through memory, imagination, and the comfort of love. With Benji Davies’s distinctive, painterly illustrations and quietly understated storytelling, the book explores the feelings children experience when a loved one is no longer there, without relying on heavy explanations or direct naming. A gentle, discussion-sparking read for families navigating grief, it reminds young readers that what we miss can still live on in our hearts.
