Reviews
Bob Graham is a master of the everyday, the small things that add up to a life lived well…Here is a book that will bear many readings. Satisfying in the telling and listening; gentle humour i nthe illustrations and an overall sense that all is well in the world when you read such life-affirming stories

This [is a] charming story full of hope and love…Graham’s work always leaves readers with a warm glow: recognition of a familiar scene, reworked to reveal a different perspective. Children will look again at the images presented here, not only the loving family, but the background figures, those coming into the airport for a variety of reasons, but all finding a safe haven…Highly Recommended.
