A gentle illustrated story that captures the humour and quiet magic of the relationship between a young girl and her grandfather. Told in Roy’s distinctive style, this series of anecdotes, life lessons, and inventive half-truths is rich in authenticity and charm as ‘Bamps’ explains the world to Bronwen during their walks together through the countryside.

An ideal title to read together with children, Walking with Bamps also celebrates those cross-generational bonds of family that are so important to young and old alike.
