Synopsis

Grandma's Poetry Book charts the nostalgic journey from birth to teens as seen through the eyes of a grandmother. It captures the many facets of those fleeting, easily forgotten moments as the grandchildren grow. Touching and funny in turn, the poems resonate with a grandmother's love for her grandchildren. Inspired by A A Milne and the bouncy verse of Pam Ayres, Grandma's Poetry Book was inspired by the birth of Di Castle's first grandchild. It has been illustrated by Denise Horn - whose sketches capture the special bond between grandparents and their families.

`The collection is both inspiring and intriguing, accompanied by delightful illustrations.' * Roderick Grant, author of Clap Hands For the Singing Molecatcher and Stathalder *
