The story of a grandfather and grandson overcoming grief together.

When Louis visits his grandfather Albert, they share the peace and quiet of the fragrant garden and rillettes on toast for snack. But they never talk about Louis' mother – Albert’s daughter – who died in an accident, nor about their grief. Until the day Louis enters his grandfather’s workshop, a room that is normally off limits to him.

The moment they begin to share their feelings, grief and consolation become possible.

Family Kisses is a collection of books with endearing stories to liberate speech within the family.
