He doesn't want to go outside or talk or smile. It's like he's a completely different person and it feels like time is running out to help him. If only Ben could find a way to bring the butterflies to his Grandpa. Maybe seeing them again could help bring back his smile …A heart-warming tale of empathy, affection and dealing with grief across generations, from award-winning author Nicola Davies.
