by Harry Woodgate, Andersen Press, £12.99 ★★★✩✩ If you want to tell your children a heartwarming story about inclusion and enduring love, look no further than Grandad’s Camper. This is a magical tale from author and illustrator Harry Woodgate, whose colourful pictures grace the pages.

The story starts off with us meeting Grandad as he faces a life without Gramps, the man who was the love of his life. In the past, Grandad and Gramps spent many happy days travelling the world together in a campervan, now abandoned under a dust sheet in a garage.

It is only through the curiosity of his granddaughter, and her determination to show him life is worth living again, that Grandad can rekindle his love for travelling and days at the beach.

Children will love this book, helping them touch on grief while also exploring the importance of keeping memories alive.
