Grampie's Heart
by Brian Bell


‘Grampie’s Heart’ is a gentle and heartwarming story written by a grandfather for his grandchildren. It is a story about love, family, and remembrance. It follows Grampie as his heart grows bigger throughout his life, making room for everyone he loves—from his parents and pets to his wife, children, and grandchildren. When Grampie passes away and goes to heaven, his love lives on in a magical way, leaving a piece of his heart with the family he cherishes most. Through the comforting metaphor of “super sparkly magic glitter,” this touching story helps young children understand loss while celebrating the enduring power of love, family connections, and cherished memories.

Brian Bell was Grampie. He loved his family more than anything and especially loved his grandchildren. He loved being silly with his grandchildren, and he loved it when they would say, “Ohhhhhh, Grampie!” when he was being his silliest.
