A boy chooses to cherish all the good memories of his beloved grandmother. A beautiful, moving picture book for young ones who need help and support through the challenging feelings of grief and loss. That afternoon the boy's house is full of people, all dressed in black for a reception, but one important person isn't there: his grandmother. The boy's grandfather feels her absence too, and sits alone, lost in thought. The boy decides to get outside and go for a walk in the snowy countryside, and what could be a sad story turns into the opposite: all the beauty he sees in nature reminds him of the precious moments he shared with his grandmother. When his grandfather comes to fetch him, he realises she is still with them both after all. Vibrantly illustrated in bright colors, the pages come to life with a sense of joy and warmth.

This is a very nice story about coping with the loss of a loved person.
While the story itself doesn‘t use (or need) many words to convey the message, what comforts even more are the astonishingly beautiful illustrations of the artist.
The use of coloured pencils is phenomenal. Not only the way the artist uses the colours all together to create such a warm atmosphere, but also the masterful way they draw shadows and depths is so lively! The art style itself is so beautiful that the words are almost not needed to tell the story.
