Description
There is a place where life's end can become a new beginning as someone, or something, entirely different. When a young boy's grandfather dies, he is overwhelmed with the confusion of knowing that they will never see each other again. In his extraordinary dreams, they meet again, and in the magical Life Transfer City he comes to accept his grandfather's passing and remember the experiences they have shared.

ReviewsA ground-breaking and tender book which treats the subject of grief with a delicate touch.This would be ideal to read with children ages 5-7, but equally suitable to spark off ideas in art with KS2, or to use as a must-have PSHE topic resource. * The School Reading List * Miao tackles the extremely difficult subject of loss and grief in a thoughtful and comforting way. Offering a supportive hug to those caught up in what can be a very overwhelming and confusing situation. * My Book Corner * The illustrations in this book are overflowing with imagination and vibrant colors. * Lauravankirk on Instagram * This whimsical and beautifully illustrated story offers children hope at a difficult time and reassures them that their lost loved one will always live on in their memories and dreams. * Ivy's Library * Beautiful picture book about grief and life after death. So many cross curricular opportunities and deals with a difficult topic thoughtfully. * @M_Bamforth on Twitter * The illustrations are absolutely mesmerising, fully immersing the reader in a magical dream land. -- @nestingwiththebyrds on Instagram
