A new family story from picture book master Anthony Browne.

Anthony Brown, who has been loved for his family stories such as “Our Mom” which shows his unconditional love for his mother, “Our Dad” which makes us think again about the meaning of father, “Our Brother” which shows a confident and wonderful brotherly love, and “You Are My Universe” which consistently sends support to his lovely daughter, has come to us this time with a story about grandfather.
The work features a variety of grandfathers with different appearances, personalities, and clothing styles.
You can meet many different types of grandfathers, from a grandfather with wrinkles like a dinosaur, to a grandfather who shines like a new car, to a grandfather who tells interesting stories, to a grandfather who raises a huge cat with small gestures.
At this point, we start to wonder.
What would my grandfather look like? Facing this everyday question, we realize we've been overlooking so much.
"Our Grandfather" is a picture book that makes us reflect on the presence of our grandfather, our relationship with him, and the meaning of family.

A loving confession to all the grandfathers in the world!

The story begins with a child's question, "What kind of person is your grandfather?"
The children continue to answer, each recalling their own grandfather.
My grandfather, a counselor who listens to my stories, my grandfather who always smiles brightly at me, my grandfather who is so warm and huggable that I want to hug him...
Everyone cheerfully confesses their love for their grandfather.
"Our Grandfather" is a story about a child and his grandfather.
By showing the child's thoughts and the grandfather's appearance side by side on the right page, it expands the reader's room for empathy and imagination.
The ending scene where the grandfather and the child meet and embrace, and the final praise of "Grandpa loves me too! Always and unchangingly...!", shows the child's love and boundless trust in the grandfather, leaving a deep impression.
“Our Grandfather” lovingly depicts the affectionate relationship between a grandfather and his grandson.
On days when you want to express your feelings to your grandfather, this book will be a great piece to share your feelings with.


A picture book that warmly welcomes all the grandfathers in the world.

Before becoming a picture book author, Anthony Browne worked as an illustrator at a hospital, drawing detailed human anatomy diagrams and other drawings.
Because of this delicate descriptive power, the author's works have consistently received praise for adding realism to the stories.
Anthony Browne's detailed painting style can also be seen in 'Our Grandfather'.
From the vibrant eyes of these grandfathers to their graying eyebrows and deep wrinkles that show the passage of time, the artist meticulously portrays each grandfather's personality and characteristics, bringing them even closer to our own.
In 2000, the book was first published in England, and features a grandfather who has become a grandfather over time, and in 2016, a grandfather wearing the same clothes as the father gorilla in Willy and the Cloud. As is typical of Anthony Browne's works, where the past and present, and each work, are intertwined with various symbols and metaphors, you can also enjoy the fun of finding hidden stories in each scene through the elaborate directing of every scene.
