A search for a boy’s grandmother in a large metropolitan hospital provides a startlingly honest look at the lives of sick people … It’s not the usual child enters- hospital comfort book; it’s more a child’s-eye view of the mystery of ill health itself.

The pictures tell the story in this beautifully, distinctively designed book.
