Walking in Grampa’s Shadow
Joey adores his grampa and wants to follow in his footsteps. When separation comes, Grampa shows Joey that love bridges any distance.
Key Themes:
More than a story to read
Suzette Lindsay’s books are designed so adults and children can read together, pause naturally, ask gentle questions, and relate the story to their own lives.
Read together
Find a cozy place to sit side-by-side with your child or young reader.
Pause when questions arise
Let curiosity lead. Pause on any illustration or sentence that prompts a thought.
Reflect and share
Ask gently how a character might be feeling or share a small thought of your own.
Remember something happy
Connect the story to a joyful family memory, a favorite joke, or a beloved place.
Bring the memory to life
When a reflection reminds you of something special, consider following that moment when appropriate.
Continue when ready
Turn the page whenever your child feels ready—or stop and pick up tomorrow.
“When a story or reflection reminds you of something special, consider bringing that memory to life together. Bake the cake they loved, take a familiar walk, visit the park or enjoy an activity that made them smile. Sometimes an unplanned moment becomes a memory the family carries forward.”
A spontaneous shared activity can strengthen the positive association with the memory and create a lasting new family memory when it feels right.
From reflection to connection
A child’s question during storytime may bring up a favourite food, place, activity, song, game or family tradition. When it feels appropriate, families are encouraged to follow the conversation into a simple shared activity.
“Gramma loved baking”
Choose a favourite recipe and bake it together.
“Grampa always took us walking”
Go for a walk and share stories along the way.
“We used to play at this park”
Visit the park and create a new happy memory.
“They loved music”
Listen, sing or dance to a favourite song.
“They always made us laugh”
Share the funniest stories you remember.
“They had a favourite tradition”
Continue it or create a new version together.
Turning a sad moment into something loving
When missing someone special feels overwhelming, focusing on love helps light the path forward. Favourite bedtime stories, silly catchphrases, treasured photographs, family holiday traditions, and funny misadventures can become warm, comforting moments to share across generations.
Recalling special words and advice that bring instant warmth to your heart.
Continuing simple rituals like fishing, baking, or Sunday walks that keep love close.
“Love keeps us connected in a beautiful way, bridging the feeling of separation through quiet moments and happy memories.”
