Travels with My Granny
Age 3+
Picture Books
When my grandma was younger she crossed rivers and mountain ranges, explored jungles and towering cities... Now her legs can't carry her much further than the door. But she still travels – and sometimes she takes me with her…
Grandma has been all over the world, to India, Egypt, China and Peru. Now she’s old she can only travel through her stories and memories. But with the help of all the fascinating objects in her room, she takes off with her grandchild to visit Delhi, Rome, Jerusalem and New York, and Grandma shares all her knowledge and experience. Grandma may not remember what happened yesterday and people say she doesn’t know where she is, but she’s a treasure trove of information about the world and her granddaughter can’t wait to go on another adventure with her. Where will they go next?
