"Grandpa's Stories" by Joseph Coehlo & Allison Colpoys

Grandpa’s Stories, written by Joseph Coehlo and illustrated by Allison Colpoys, is a beautiful picture book about the memories made between a girl and her South Asian grandfather.

Coehlo and Colpoys weave together a quiet, calming reflection on grief that is appropriate for young children.

(Check out my review of another children’s book on grief—this one a little more complicated)

I am a big fan of this duo and hope they will collaborate again soon. Coehlo is a prolific children’s writer, poet, and playright, while Colploys has illustrated several other darling children’s books.

In the meantime, check out one of the many wonderful videos of Coehlo sharing his work on YouTube:
