A sensitive, beautifully illustrated story about three siblings’ time with their grandpa at his beach hut, where his memory lives on.
Grandpa Martin has a little beach hut, which he paints a vivid yellow so it seems like the sun is always shining on it. He calls it his happy hut, and for three siblings who visit, time with Grandpa is happy indeed—climbing on rocks and dodging rain showers in spring; wading in the ocean and playing cards in the summer; flying handmade kites and helping with “essential” repairs in autumn; even shore walks and fruitcake with tea by the stove in winter. When illness keeps Grandpa away from his hut, the grandchildren worry and miss him dearly. And when the time comes to honor his memory, they each have a loving task to perform to bring his treasured hut back to life. With charming artwork infused with light and a simple, affecting text, Tim Hopgood pays tribute to a special bond across generations.
