If all the world were... by Joseph Coelho, illustrated by Allison Colpoys

If all the world were... by Joseph Coelho, illustrated by Allison Colpoys. Frances Lincoln 2018. 

Simple, poignant, story of a young girl and her relationship with her aging grandfather. 

The process of dealing with the immediate aftermath of a death is dealt with (tidying up, finding treasures) and the wishful thinking and reminiscing after a death. Grandad leaves her a legacy – both physical (a new notebook) and emotional.
