About this ebook
A heartfelt new picture book from bestselling children’s author Eric Walters (From the Heart of Africa) and Halifax-based artist Carloe Liu. In this poignant story, we follow young Emily who has recently lost her grandfather. As she grows, she discovers a series of letters he left behind for her, offering grandfatherly advice at life’s most pivotal moments: first day of high school, graduation day, wedding, and ending with the birth of her own child.
With gentle watercolors and letters for sharing with loved ones, Always With You is a timeless story about grief, growing up, and finding that those we love never truly leave us.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well I should hate this book. I shouldn't read this book at 3.30 A.M. now I'm bowling my eyes out. ? what a very beautiful book about loss and love.
I love that it reminds people that - if you lose someone you love, they are always with you.
Even if you can't read this book now, i suggest you to go, give a hug, spend time with your grandparents, parents, siblings, whoever near and dear ones you have now.
