"Mr. Grumpy Papou" is a story of love and perseverance, how a little girl and her brother seek to bring joy to an old lonely man in their town and never give up trying. It turns out that the most straightforward method, hand drawing, finally wins the day and turns "Mr. Grumpy Papou's "day into joy. Eloise and her brother Leighton show that the key to sharing love is action, doing something, not just wishing things would be better. Living in a community is harder today than ever. There are "Mr. Grumpy Papou's" in every community and workplace. Hopefully, this story will inspire children and remind adults that love in action, with effort and perseverance, generates results-something all of us can do, as displayed by Eloise.
