Grace lives in Britain with her mum, her gran and her cat. Dad lives in The Gambia far away with a new family, and Grace hasn't seen him since she was small. When dad sends tickets for Grace and her gran to visit them, she is pleased but perturbed too. How can she cope with two families? Her growth into acceptance of gran's wise advice, 'families are what you make them', makes up the rest of this stunning picture book.
