Every child has a “super” figure in their lives. This charming book demonstrates the fact with a beautiful ode from a child to her grandfather whom she calls a champion.

The illustrations are equally moving too as they tread the fine line between a child’s fantasy and her perception of reality. :-)

Excerpt

He’s also the best at spotting unusual things – like monsters and dragons in the sky!

…But my favorite thing is when my grandpa pushes me on the swings. Then I feel like a world record holder. I swing so high I nearly touch the sky!
