Grandma Z cover

On an ordinary day, in an even more ordinary town, it was Albert’s birthday.

When Grandma Z roars into town on her motorcycle, Albert is swept up in a very extraordinary adventure. Life may never be the same again!

This glorious debut from Daniel Gray-Barnett is filled with wonder, imagination, and a wild, magical spirit that will thrill young and old.

Grandma Z celebrates the power of vivid imagination, and the illustrations are absolutely spectacular, with bold colours and strong brushstrokes that convey a magical world … Daniel Gray-Barnett … has created something entirely unique that is both readable and a visual feast.’

-- Angela Crocombe * Books+Publishing *
‘This book will inspire and reinforce the importance of fun in growing up and lead you to believe that every day can be “unordinary”.’ * Herald Sun *

‘Every child will enjoy the way Albert’s life gets caught up in the whirlwind of Grandma Z … this is very much a story about that wonderful connection between generations.’

* Early Years Educator *

‘This glorious book with splashes of colour is filled with wonder, imagination and a wild magical spirit that will thrill young and old alike!’

* Creative Steps *

‘An unusual, joyful picture book.’

* The School Librarian *

‘This brilliant debut from Daniel Gray-Barnett is filled with wonder, imagination, and a wild, magical spirit that will delight grown-ups and little ones alike.’

-- Carly Glendinning * Absolutely Mama *

‘You won’t find Grandma Z with curlers and knitting needles. Run-of-the-mill for this gregarious granny involves motorcycles, rock climbing, a dragon’s tooth horn, dancing Icelandic ponies and afternoon tea at a palace – all while wearing a furry blue trench coat.’

-- Melanie Kembrey * The Saturday A
