My Grandpa is the stunning picture book debut from Marta Altes, author of I Am An Artist.
A moving and memorable book about the very special relationship between an elderly grandfather and his adoring grandson, this unique look at old age through the eyes of a young bear is big-hearted, poignant and beautifully observed.
The story's magic is found in its spare illustrations and hushed quiet, as though you were being whispered to under the covers. - The New York Times Book Review
The expressive drawings are winning. . . A lovely tale. - Guardian
