I absolutely adore it and am very excited to have matching artwork to proudly display when we move house!
Every summer, the narrator of this heart-warming tale goes to stay with her grandad in his pretty old cottage by the sea.
That leaves the child's role (and there is no mention of parents, or even that Grandad and Gramps had children) as brackets to the piece, only becoming an active part of the story at the end. Spelling Seeds have been designed to complement Writing Roots by providing weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts, linked (where relevant) to other areas of the curriculum and a suggestion of how to extend the investigation into home learning. This is a quiet story that speaks volumes, and astute educators and storytellers will be able to use the book in both intimate storytimes and with larger groups. Her favourite pastime, however, is to snuggle up with Grandad while he shares tales of his past adventures with Gramps.I purchased this book for my ten year old girls who have outgrown picture books a bit but the stunning illustrations inspired them as little artist and they absolutely loved the story an the characters.
The art throughout Grandad's Camper is dashing, the layouts somehow chockablock and yet never too busy. Waterstones Children’s Book Award Winner and British Book Awards Nibbies Children’s Illustrated Book of the Year 2023! Readers are introduced to a young, brown-skinned, curly-haired protagonist on a visit to their White grandfather's cottage. There are some fine picture books out there revolving around a child's experience of loss, but there aren't many designed to help kids understand someone else's grief.
Grandad's camper van is hidden away in the garage - now Gramps isn't around any more, the adventures they shared travelling in it just wouldn't be the same.
Great Deal
