An Errand-Filled Day with Granddad

A trip into town for dinner supplies gives this picture book its simple frame: a boy asks questions as he accompanies his grandfather on errands, and their exchange returns to the idea of taking time together. The everyday outing connects practical tasks with a broader meditation on noticing and valuing moments shared with loved ones. Poetry and illustrations shape the telling, while the market visit keeps the focus grounded in a familiar family routine.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy stories about family outings and everyday adventures
  • Families looking for a book about spending time with loved ones
  • Children who enjoy poetic picture books

Book overview

For fans of Oge Mora and Ezra Jack Keats comes a poetic and joyful tale about a young boy who runs errands with his grandfather in town, by critically acclaimed author, Gary R. Gray, Jr. (I'm From), and award-winning artist, Rahele Jomepour Bell.

"What are we doing today, Granddad?"
"How about a trip to town? Nan needs some things for dinner."
"Let's go!"
"How far to the market, Granddad?"
"No rush, son! We're just spendin' time."

Upbeat lyricism and cheerful illustration bring to life this kid-friendly meditation on appreciating every moment--big or small--spent with the people you love.
