A sensitive, beautifully illustrated picture book about three children spending time with their grandad at his wonderful beach hut and how his spirit lives on there.
This delightful story is all about the warm, loving relationship that three children share with their Grandpa Martin. The children visit Grandpa at his Happy Hut throughout the year, in spring, summer, autumn and even winter. Each season brings its own adventures and shows the hut in a new light each time.
This poignant story goes on to depict the family coping with Grandpa Martin's death in a gentle, uplifting manner as they make sure that the Happy Hut stands as a reminder of all the memories they made together.
