Falling angels ISBN: 9780091768171
Thompson, Colin
Published by Hutchinson, 2001
Sally and her grandmother can fly - or they share vivid imaginations. It's all the same. Grandma is dying, and Sally sits by her bed and flies off to exotic parts of the world to bring her gifts. The endlessly imaginative, often aerial, pictures with unexpected and enchanting detail, show us Sally learning to see the world through her heart, rather than just with her eyes. After grandmother and Sally go on one last trip together, flying round the world to all their favourite places, grandmother chooses her favourite place, takes her last breath, and stays forever. Sally ensures that her own children learn to fly too. An outstandingly beautiful book.
