Winner of the Silver Nautilus Award for Children's Illustrated Fiction, Where Grandad Lives explores a child's journey with grief and loss.
When Ezra says his Grandad lives somewhere really special, Zadie is sure she can find out where - but the answer is not what she expected at all . . .
Where Grandad Lives encourages us all to talk more about those we've loved and lost.
MOBO award-winning rapper Guvna B lost his father suddenly in 2017. Through his own experiences, Guvna B developed a passion to normalise the conversation of loss, grief and bereavement. Now with a family of his own, he and his wife Emma want to share this message with a new generation.
'As we do life with our own son Ezra, we hope we can continue to have conversations with him about the loved ones we've lost. Though this can bring sadness, as well as happiness, we believe it's an important part of keeping their legacies alive and can help children understand more about who they are and the special people who came before them. We hope that this book is a helpful tool as you navigate life, grief and raising little ones.'
