Timothy and Gramps is on my Tuesday Treasures listfor several reasons. It is a very early book by master illustrator Ron Brooks. I think it is good to show students the evolution of an illustrator and identify links between their books. Lastly, I have "been in love" with the illustrations of Ron Brooks ever since I read John Brown, Rose and the midnight cat (1977).
In his book Drawn from the Heart, Ron says: "I remember Monday morning I first saw an old man and a girl walking along holding hands to the school and, on arrival, staying a little apart from the other chatting groups, talking quietly together ..." The man was the grandfather of the little girl and thus the idea for Timothy and Gramps was born. When Ron was living in the village of Frontmell Magna in Dorset he found the perfect setting for Timothy and Gramps.
I was so thrilled to find a copy of Timothy and Gramps in a local charity book sale and it was only $1 and in mint condition.
Timothy is a lonely little boy. He finds it difficult to talk to the other children at school and he never has anything to share during 'show and tell'. Then he thinks of his Gramps.

“Picturebooks are verbal and visual text conceived in time and space, and they verbally and visually arrange time and space in creative and sophisticated interplay” (Winch, Johnston, March, Ljungdahl & Holliday, 2010).
Fox by Margaret Wild, illustrated by Ron Brooks is a powerful fable of friendship and betrayal. It is the story of friends, Dog and Magpie, who are torn apart by Fox, who tempts Magpie away and abandons her in the desert. Wild enjoys telling this story through her personified animal characters who play out themes of friendship, loyalty and a resonating theme of deception.
At the crux of visual literacy is meaning making; from objects, lines, circles, maps and words.
