Night Walk

A sensitive picture book to help parents and carers discuss the difficult topics of death, loss and grief with children, while finding healing in the extraordinary beauty of the natural world and treasured memories.

Just before sunrise, a boy and his grandfather set off on Grandma’s favourite walk to find Grandma’s favourite place. Is it the stream with the leaping frogs and flashing trout? The hidden hollow where the mother deer lives with her fawn?
No, Grandma’s favourite place is where she watched the sunrise. The perfect place for her grandchild to remember her.
