Sparrows at the Breakfast Table

<p>Beautifully observed and written with a lightness and freshness that breathes life through every poem, <em>Sparrows at the Breakfast Table</em> invites us into a place of wonder and love. These family moments, most acute between a grandfather and grandson, are filled with gentle humour and deep tenderness. And there is nothing shallow here — these poems are not whimsies but serious reflections on the bonds we make across generations and how they go on reverberating in memory.</p><p>In these exquisitely illustrated encounters, we find ourselves more able to savour what matters, to value the heart and soul of life. This is an enchanting collection that not only shines a light on our relationship to children but also invites us to connect again the child within each of us.</p>
