Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the loss of a grandparent or starting to ask how one person's life can ripple out to touch strangers in far-off places. It is a unique collaborative novel where ten different authors tell the story of George Keane, a world-traveling photographer whose death leaves his grandchildren with more questions than answers. Through a series of interconnected stories, the book explores how legacies are built through art, memory, and small acts of kindness. This collection is ideal for 10 to 14-year-olds who enjoy puzzles and complex narratives. It treats the subject of grief with a sophisticated, secular, and artistic lens, showing that while a person may be gone, the 'clicks' of their camera and the impact of their adventures live on. It is a perfect choice for encouraging a child to think about their own place in a global community and how their family history connects to the wider world.
