Where did Grandad Go?

Where did Grandad go? aims to help very young children to come to terms with the idea of death and missing somebody very much, remembering all the good things about them. Tackling a difficult question with sensitivity and compassion, this book aims to guide young children to an understanding of the special place that God has for those who love him when they die. Ideal for one-to-one reading.

Review from Bereavement Care - Summer 2008

Granny prepares Megan for her (Granny's) eventual death while they both lay flowers on Grandad's grave. There is a lot...about God's love and God's house. It is a good idea for grandparents to talk about death with children, especially their own death, and this book would be fine for a religious family to address the subject. It will certainly spark off questions which I hope they will be prepared to answer. The illustrations are pretty.
