Why we love it:
Written by an award winning poet Joseph Coelho. Set in India, this touching tale is of a little girl and her grandfather who share a tight bond. It speaks of their relationship through the seasons and how he teaches her to appreciate the simple things in life- and she does. This story also shows how she then copes when her grandfather passes on in a beautiful and powerful way that could definitely help children deal with their own experiences, or learn about the passing of anyone close. /32 pages
"The perfect way into talking about a difficult subject with children, showing that sadness is as necessary to happiness as winter is to spring. If All the World Were… is a soothing, reassuring approach to loss and how to live without someone you loved, and a beautiful story, beautifully told." -Quorto Books. (Because we couldn't have put it more beautifully than the publisher themselves.)
