This incredibly simple story is just the telling of a man’s life. The interest is all in the pictures which show that story in the topiary of the man’s garden. The end may make some adults tear up a bit, as the grandfather’s memory is not what it used to be and the garden is the way that he keeps his memories, but it is unlikely to upset children.
