The artwork, moreover, is every bit as colorful and appealing as you would expect from a Davies picture-book. Syd and his Grandad set sail for a very special island in this metaphorical exploration of death and grieving for the picture-book set. Grandad takes Syd exploring a far away island in his attic, where he decides to stay and enjoy himself. It's almost so subtle that you read it and are like - wait, am I a downer for thinking the grandfather died?

He’s in the attic, where he ushers Syd through a door, and the two of them journey to a wild, beautiful island awash in color where Grandad decides he will remain. It does so in a way that I feel like a kid who hadn't lost anyone wouldn't pick up on it (There's no funeral or tears or sickness) but that a kid who had experience a loss might find resonance in the story. A touching and comforting book that could be used to deal with the loss of a grandparent, as well as a good every day read.It is written in a lovely, heart-warming way, and I can imagine it could be really valuable for use in the classroom, PSHE, or for a child to read with parents. Whether it's read as a picture book about love, loss or just missing someone who isn't around anymore, it's a charmer.

He has worked on a huge range of subjects and platforms, with clients as diverse as such Waterstone’s, Sainsbury’s and Oxfam, and in countries as different as India and Australia.
