Grandpa's island

Author: Benji Davies

Performance: Antonis Papatheodoulou

At first reading, it's a wonderful adventure: Sid visits Grandpa, and together they discover a door in the attic of the house that leads to the deck of a ship. They set sail and are located on a magical, tropical island. They explore it, from end to end, swim in the waterfalls, find a hut, and Grandpa decides to settle on the island. Sid gets on the ship and turns around.

At the second level, this book, in an extremely discreet way, deals with the issue of the loss of a loved one with great tenderness and sensitivity. Sid loves Grandpa. Grandpa loves Sid. And that will never change, not even when Sid is no longer able to visit his grandfather.
