Missing Grandpa
Let's talk about grief - a gentle book for the whole family
Missing Grandpa is a gentle, reassuring story that helps children understand grief through the eyes of friendship.
When his best friend Jackson goes quiet and withdrawn after his Nanna becomes very sick, a young boy doesn't know what to do. As he remembers losing his own Grandpa, he begins to understand that grief looks different for everyone - and that sometimes the greatest gift we can give is simply to sit beside someone, listen, and care.
Written with warmth, honesty and hope, Missing Grandpa opens the door to meaningful conversations about loss, memories, kindness and the many different ways people grieve. Part of the Let's Talk About… series, gentle books that help children navigate life's big feelings with understanding, connection and love.
