Share the wonder... evocative poetry celebrating the love between grandparent and child.
This charming, nostalgic poetry collection is written and narrated by British poet Vicky Arthurs. Inspired by childhood memories of her grandparents, Vicky's vivid, tender poems capture time spent together and wonders shared. Her poetry explores of themes of love, war, nature, and innocence. Some poems are seen through the eyes of a child. Others are remembrances and reimaginings of her grandparents' lives. Full of warmth and charm, this poetic family memoir vividly evokes an English childhood and pays tribute to a generation who lived through the two World Wars.
Wonderful listening for anyone who remembers being a grandchild—and an ideal audiobook gift for a grandmother or grandfather.
