Unwrapping Some Illustrations

The Book

This is a heartwarming/ heartbreaking book. It is a wonderful love story of an intergenerational relationship between a beloved grandfather and his grandson.

Together they play, joke around, read and enjoy each other's company to the max. They do almost everything together and are like two peas in a pod.

Then one day Abuelito becomes ill and doesn't come home from the hospital. Alejo misses his grandfather very much and hopes he will come back soon, but alas that is not to be. Alejo is very sad to have to do things alone now without his grandfather accompaniment. He does works through his grief and the reality that Abuelito will not be returning and be in his life anymore. He learns in the end how to cope with his loss and in so doing his heart heals.

This inspiring book offers a lovely life lesson to the young reader. The illustrations are detailed and colourful and you can feel the love and mutual friendship between the two on every page.

I love the book and highly recommend it.
