If you are looking for a heartwarming, wholesome story to read with your little ones to celebrate pride, then I encourage you to check out Grandad’s Camper! Within the pages of this vibrant and inclusive picture book, you will get to meet a wonderful granddaughter who decides to come up with a plan to help her Grandad embrace life again, following the death of her Gramps.
In their youth, Gramps and Grandad were adventurers. They would surf, climb mountains and tour around waving a rainbow flag from their adorable pink VW bus! They were a couple deeply in love and they enjoyed seeing the world together, but after losing Gramps, the pink bus got parked and poor Grandad didn’t feel like travelling anymore.
However, their thoughtful and outgoing granddaughter takes on the challenge of getting the old, dusty bus fixed up and inspires Grandad to get back out on the road to explore once again. In summary, this beautiful picture book spreads love and compassion, while teaching empathy. It shows us what intergenerational kindness looks like and reminds readers of all ages to not only remember those they have lost, but to celebrate them as well!
