El abuelo está en su jardín. No, él no siempre fue jardinero. También fue un niño que se crió en una granja, tuvo varicela, dio su primer beso, fue un soldado, y sobre todo fue un artista. Pero ahora ya no recuerda muchas cosas. . . Por eso pasa las horas en su jardín, podando los setos y arbustos. Y gracias a eso su bisnieto puede revivir el pasado del abuelo al recorrer las caprichosas formas de los árboles. Visitar el jardín del abuelo es habitar y aproximar lugares que cualquiera pensaría inalcanzables. Un libro tan enigmático como bello, que explora las formas de comunicación que vencen al envejecimiento y el olvido. Un libro para leer, y releer, con los hijos, los nietos y los bisnietos.Grandpa is in his garden. No, he wasn’t always a gardener. He was also a boy who grew up on a farm, had chicken pox, had his first kiss, became a soldier, and above all, was an artist. But now he doesn’t remember much. That’s why he spends his time in his garden, pruning the hedges and shrubs. As a result, his great-grandson can relive his past by studying the whimsical shapes of the trees. Visiting grandpa’s garden means inhabiting places he never thought possible. This book, both enigmatic and beautiful, explores forms of communication that supercede aging and forgetting.

English Translation

Grandpa Green

A young boy wanders through his great-grandfather's remarkable topiary garden, where each carefully sculpted shrub tells a story from the old man's long life—from a childhood on the farm to his years as a soldier, gardener, husband, and father. Through whimsical green sculptures, this quiet, beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates memory, aging, and the bonds between generations, showing how an ordinary life can be full of extraordinary moments worth remembering and passing on.
