A camper, shared memories, and new adventures

After Gramps dies, Grandad no longer wants to travel in the camper they once explored the country in together. His granddaughter comes up with a plan to restore it and help him consider adventuring again. The story brings together bereavement, family connection, and the way memories of someone who has died can remain part of new experiences. Presented as a board book shaped like the camper, it also centers a loving grandfather-granddaughter relationship.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children sharing a picture book with a caregiver
  • Families seeking a story about bereavement and remembering a loved one
  • Readers interested in stories of intergenerational family bonds

"An effective tool for teaching empathy, and the intergenerational bond at the story's center is a heartstrings puller. This picture book, in which a girl helps her grandfather embrace life again following the death of Gramps, may well aid young readers in understanding others' grief." Shelf Awareness

Gramps and Grandad were adventurers. They would surf, climb mountains, and tour the country in their amazing camper. Gramps just made everything extra special. But after Gramps died, granddad hasn't felt like traveling anymore. So, their amazing granddaughter comes up with a clever plan to fix up the old camper and get Grandad excited to explore again.

This beautiful board book, shaped like Grandad's Camper itself, honors love and reminds us not only to remember those we have lost, but to celebrate them.
