Grandpa Never Lies

Grandpa Never Lies is a children's book written by Ralph Fletcher and illustrated by Harvey Stevenson.

Alicia Eames reviewing for the School Library Journal said that "the lyrical language and engaging use of imagery are worth noting.

Richly hued acrylic illustrations complement the mood of the text moving smoothly from bright and fanciful to dark and somber.

"[2] Lauren Peterson reviewing for Booklist said "despite the death, this is an upbeat, joyous story of an intergenerational relationship that will strike a chord with many children.

Stevenson's acrylic pictures are done in an appealing painterly style, with obvious brushstrokes and interesting use of color and line.
