We have 10 copies of the delightful Do You Want To Meet Your Grandma? up for grabs!

Do you want to meet your Grandma? is a humorous, insightful and interactive book for young children about our shared universal ancestors.

Through delightful rhymes and enchanting watercolour illustrations, it explores not just who these ancestors were and how we are still like them, but what our ancestor grandmothers might have to teach us about living full, happy and meaningful lives. Complete with moments of suspense and hilarious reactions, this is not just a story of human evolution, but that of the whole universe.

Young readers will love its humour and playfulness and adults will appreciate its original take on evolution, wonder and life. So each time you wonder who you are and from where you came, just think about your Grandmas, who for all of us are the same!

  • Nature and all that it offers


  • It took my Nan’s passing a few months ago to show me just how instrumental she was in my childhood and helped shaped the strong person I am today


  • I feel most connected to……any place that my kids are. One is in Victoria, so there’s a connection, the other in Tassie for my other connection. I am definitely most connected to my kids ❤️❤️❤️


  • I feel most connected to my Children the are pieces of me!


  • I definitely feel most connected to my family – my baby, parents, husband, and my dog. These are the people in my life who understand me, love me unconditionally, and I know will always be there when I need them. In return I provide that to them too, and this is my core function as Mom for my baby girl. I feel overjoyed that I am able to give her the same love I was privileged enough to receive growing up. And it all starts with family.


  • Well I feel connected to my children, but also my pets, and I do enjoy being out in nature, if just walking around or off exploring.


  • My mum she knows me better than anyone and we share a connection beyond words


  • My nana. I still have her embroidery art work and she is always apart of my life even though she has passed


  • My home town. Whenever I visit I am reminded of all the memories there. So many of my formative years there.


  • Pine forests, I find the isolation and the peace and quiet so tranquil. The pine reminds me of fresh Christmas trees as a child a tradition I’ve kept for my children


  • I feel most connected to my own grandmother, who passed last year. She was my rock for everything.
