Grandpa and the Kingfisher

Anna Wilson • Illustrated by Sarah Massini

Life-affirming and lyrical, this beautiful picture book celebrates the awesome power of nature.

Over the course of a year, a young child and their dog watch kingfishers by the river with Grandpa. As spring turns to summer and autumn to winter, the kingfishers raise a family, while Grandpa teaches his grandchild about the power of nature and the circle of life.

The powerful, intergenerational bond between grandparent and grandchild shows that just as spring always follows winter, hope will always return if you know where to look for it.
