Grandpa Is Here

A warm and tender story about familial love and migration. ~The Bookseller

What a stunning picture book this is. […] It captures the bond between families and is a beautiful lyrical tale which will pull on the heartstrings. The wonderful illustrations by Chuck Groenink really help to bring this book to life and are so vibrant they capture the story superbly. Grandpa is Here will make a wonderful addition to any nursery, lower primary school library but most of all will make a stunning gift. It is just sublime, I loved it. ~Little Blog of Library Treasures

The joy to be felt in this book is immense. […] Wondrous illustrations will enchant young readers. ~My Shelves Are Full

Tenderly told through Tanya Rosie’s lyrical rhyming narrative in which the loving connection between grandpa and granddaughter is implicit; so it is too in Chuck Groenink’s illustrations which radiate the warmth and tenderness of the intergenerational bond. Like that tight hug at the start of the story, this will surely evoke strong emotions in adult readers who share this with children. Memories are made like this. ~Red Reading Hub

I strongly recommend this beautiful picture book published by Walker Books which has a poignant message about the importance of family and sharing special experiences. I look forward to using it with children to talk about what they would like to tell others about their lives and where they live. ~The Letterpress Project
