Summary:

At the bottom of Syd?�?s garden, through the gate and past the tree, is Grandad?�?s house. Syd can let himself in any time he likes. But one day when Syd comes to call, Grandad isn?�?t in any of the usual places. He?�?s in the attic, where he ushers Syd through a door, and the two of them journey to a wild, beautiful island awash in color where Grandad decides he will remain. So Syd hugs Grandad one last time and sets sail for home. Visiting Grandad?�?s house at the bottom of the garden again, he finds it just the same as it?�?s always been ?�? except that Grandad isn?�?t there anymore. Sure to provide comfort to young children struggling to understand loss, Benji Davies?�?s tale is a sensitive and beautiful reminder that our loved ones live on in our memories long after they?�?re gone.
