Ava and the Acorn

£8.99

Together Grandad and Ava adventure along the twisting path and over the hill where, beneath the canopy of their friend the old Oak tree, they make wonderful memories to treasure and share: from summer picnics with jam-sticky fingers to carefree days kicking through russet leaves in autumn’s soft glow. But as the seasons change, so too does the old Oak tree and Grandad’s health. A tender, stay-with-you-forever story about one little girl’s relationship with her grandad, and the hope that lies in the changing of the seasons and the circle of life.

Description

All the things that you’ve lost – that you’ve loved – are not gone,
When they’re held in your heart, a small part still lives on…

Together Grandad and Ava adventure along the twisting path and over the hill where, beneath the canopy of their friend the old Oak tree, they make wonderful memories to treasure and share: from summer picnics with jam-sticky fingers to carefree days kicking through russet leaves in autumn’s soft glow. But as the seasons change, so too does the old Oak tree and Grandad’s health . . .

A tender, stay-with-you-forever story about one little girl’s relationship with her grandad, and the hope that lies in the changing of the seasons and the circle of life.
Because where you think there’s an end, there’s always a beginning . . .

House of Books and Friends is bringing back their 'Lunchtime Lecture' series, and are excited to welcome Professor John Byrne to discuss his book 'Useful Art: How Activist Artists Can Change the World.' The talk will begin at 1pm and last for 1 hour.
Tickets available via the link in our bio 🎟️
Does art have to be beautiful? What if it can be useful instead? In this cutting-edge book, John Byrne shows how the concept of 'Useful Art' is helping artists and communities fight back against the neoliberal takeover of our spaces, services and lives.
