Grandpa's Garden

From the gifted author of Granny & Me comes Gale Henry's second enchanting children's story, Grandpa's Garden. Every morning in the garden by the house, Simone helps her Grandpa water the eddoes and sweet potatoes and pull out the weeds. One day Simone tells Grandpa he's missed a patch of weeds beside him. "No, I didn't", replies Grandpa. When Grandpa's back is turned, Simone pulls out the patch of weeds. So begins the tangible and touching story of Grandpa and Simone coming to terms with the loss of Grandpa's sight. When Grandpa says he's not going to the garden any more, Simone asks him to let her take his hand. She shows Grandpa the mango trees he knows so well and Grandpa recognises the sounds of the birds he used to hear every morning.
