Grandma Z

Winner of the CBCA Award for New Illustrator at the 2019 CBCA Awards

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.

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