The Wonderful Journey - Hardcover
'You can travel anytime you want, anywhere you wish. ' Gran is telling Sam that the time has comefor her to fly home. Saddened, he thinks he will no longer share their special stories. Grandma then begins her final and best story. Inspired by the old steam train they visit on their walks, she takes him on a journey through all the fabulous places she has known. They become flamingos, flying across the African skies; they rest in a vast lake; they watch a pride of lions resting at the foot of a mountain. In this way, this shows him how he can use his imagination to create stories for himself, to travel and to always be near her.

Review:
Grandma has been living with Sam's family in England but comes from far away. Every Wednesday she and Sam visit the railway yard to see the trains and tell stories, until one day Gran breaks the news that soon she will fly away again and tells Sam a special story to help him to feel better. They close their eyes and fly with the flamingos to Africa, over villages, rivers and open plains, until they land close to where Gran used to live. She tells of the journeys she made as a girl on the big steam trains and Sam learns that with a little imagination he can travel anywhere in the world. When Sam returns to the railway yard the following week he cannot find his Grandma but he does find the memory of their stories. Gran had flown away but Sam can still Hear her voice in the thunder of the trains.
Book Description:
This sensitive and poetic story is made unforgettable by the beautiful paintings accompanying it. The scenes of African wildlife are stunning and the contrast to the ramshackle world of an English railway yard adds a poignancy to the tale of separation. Sam can travel the world whenever he wants to and will never lose his Gran as long as he holds her in his heart. (Ages 4 and over) --Alison Jardine
Paul Geraghty's powerful new story about the close bond between a young boy and his grandmother.
