( ) This book was especially moving to our family having lost my husband and my grandchildren's grandfather less than two years ago. This book depicts a young girl's love for her granddad and how they spend time together, her wishing it would never end. When he dies, she copes with the situation and uses a notebook he made for her to write and draw her memories while dealing with her grief. The book is written by poet and playwright Joe Coelho with wonderful illustrations by Allison Colpoys. This is a wonderful book that tackles a touchy topic: death. Death is never easy but this book would be a great help to any child. A wonderful addition to a family library where they will eventually have to deal with death and the grief that comes with it. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. If All the World Were... by Joseph Coelho is a poignant tale about a young girl facing the death of her grandfather. Told through lyrical prose and gorgeous artwork, we see her favourite memories of being with her grandfather, expressed through seasonal imagery. I'm going to be honest. This book brought tears to my eyes. It was my paternal grandmother who I was closest to in all my family. When she passed, it devastated me. I'm thankful for all the time I had with her. I read this with my cubs, which led to discussions regarding death. As a concept, it's not foreign to them. We've had furbabies pass. But this seems to have brought the full realisation that I or Jonas, or others in the family, won't always be around. ***Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. This was a nice book about a granddaughter's love for her grandpa. It was sad and definitely a lot of people can relate to. I was once like the girl. I had a grandpa who I loved so much but nothing can bring my grandpa physically back. Although it is sad, it is nice to see the girl's memories of her grandpa. The ending was definitely a surprise. It is worth the read with your son and/or daughter. I do hope I can get a physical copy. Thanks #NetGalley for the free copy. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
