Grandad's Island

32 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-9005-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 Syd and his grandad travel to a faraway, fantastical tropical island. While Grandad chooses to stay, Syd returns home and visits Grandad's now empty house. What begins as a grand adventure transitions into a subtle, bittersweet tale of loss. The brightly hued digital illustrations--vibrant, whimsical, and sweet in equal measure--invite readers to share in the journey.
