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.

‘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 *

‘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 *

‘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 *

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 *

‘An unusual, joyful picture book.’

* The School Librarian *

‘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 Age *
