review:
'If All the World' by Joseph Coelho with illustrations by Allison Colpoys was an emotionally packed book with a beautiful message and illustrations.

The book follows the journey of a child and her grandad through the seasons of the year. There are walks through flowers and toys and stories from grandad's childhood. Grandad gifts a journal and a special pencil to write with. Throughout the book, the child makes wishes for the grandad for more birthdays or better health.

The foreshadowing is there all along, but it's still strong when the ending comes. I read children's books because they can have full emotions, and this one was no exception. I found myself finishing this one with tears in my eyes. What a beautiful book to share with the children in your life.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Frances Lincoln Children's Books, Quarto Publishing Group, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
