Critics Review
“Granny is a heart-warming story about the love shared by children and grandparents, and the way relationships can change with illness and age. It’s also a sensitive and emotionally honest account that will offer support and comfort to children (and families) struggling with the effects of illness on their own lives.” * Reading Time *
“This touching story alongside the colourful illustrations would be a great book to have in your children’s library for discussions on illness, disability and even getting old!” * Swings + Roundabouts Magazine *
“Edie’s Granny is perfect – she’s warm, loving and all things fun. But when she has a stroke, suddenly the Granny Edie knows isn’t there anymore. Or is she? A heart-warming story of love, hope and coping with life’s challenges.” * The Bottom Shelf *
“Finding Granny is a heartening tale of the bond between children and grandparents, and how this relationship continues to change and flourish. It broaches a difficult subject that can be hard for children to understand with care and sensitivity, and shows that no matter what happens a little love can help you through life’s challenges. ” * The Daily Telegraph *
“A good book to read with young children which explains in a gentle manner how to deal when things that go wrong with loved ones.” * School Days Magazine *
“The moment the glorious end pages of this book, melting with blended colour, greet you, you know you are part of something special … a judiciously presented picture book that broaches the subjects of illness and disability in an open, sensitive and creative way that 4 – 8-year-olds will find appealing and easy to accept.” * Boomerang Books *
