Grandad's Medal
eBook 정보

Marvin thinks his grandad is the bravest person he's ever met; he even has a medal from the war to prove it. And, more than anything else, Marvin wants to be brave too.
But when Grandad must go on his final adventure alone, Marvin finds he has to be braver than he's ever been before. Until he discovers that Grandad has left behind a very special surprise just for him . . .
A touching and poignant Early Reader story, perfect for children coming to terms with grief for the first time.
