For fans of Oge Mora and Ezra Jack Keats comes a poetic and joyful tale about a young boy who runs errands with his grandfather in town, by critically acclaimed author, Gary R. Gray, Jr. (I’m From), and award-winning artist, Rahele Jomepour Bell.“What are we doing today, Granddad?”“How about a trip to town? Nan needs some things for dinner.”“Let’s go!”“How far to the market, Granddad?”“No rush, son! We’re just spendin’ time.” Upbeat lyricism and cheerful illustration bring to life this kid-friendly meditation on appreciating every moment—big or small—spent with the people you love.
In a sweetly sensate picture book, a simple grocery run unfurls into a brimful, golden day for a child “spendin’ time” with their grand-father. [A] roundly rendered tribute to the treasure of unhurried time with loved ones. — Publishers Weekly (starred review) [Bell’s] impressionistic images shimmer, while Gray’s text has an easy, folksy rhythm that mirrors Granddad’s own relaxed attitude; this is as much a love letter to grandparents as it is to Preston, Nova Scotia, where Gray spent time with his own grandparents. As warm and nourishing as apple pie. — Kirkus (starred review)
