Jüll voue une admiration et une confiance sans bornes à son grand-papa, dont il voudrait tant avoir le courage. Lors d'une balade en montagne, la nuit tombe et le garçonnet apeuré éclate en sanglots. Rassurant, son grand-papa le porte jusqu'à la maison et lui confie que lui aussi avait peur lorsqu'il avait son âge. Devant le scepticisme de son petit-fils, qui a peine à croire que son héros a déjà été un enfant, il partage avec lui les souvenirs que renferme son album de photos et lui explique qu'avec le temps, les personnes âgées perdent des forces alors que les enfants en gagnent.

When James and Eamon go to a week of Nature Camp and stay at Eamon's grandparents' house, it turns out that their free time spent staying inside, eating waffles, and playing video games is way more interesting than nature. But sometimes things work out best when they don't go exactly as planned.

This Caldecott Honor-winning book is a moving and hilarious celebration of young boys, childhood friendships, and the power of the imagination, where Marla Frazee captures the very essence of summer vacation and what it means to be a kid.
