    About this ebook

    My Nanna was inspired by a real life character! A book about the magic and fun of Nanna's! There is a wonderful surprise at the end of the book where you find out that 'nanna' may not be the traditional kind of grandparent! If your child, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends kids or even a storytelling club love fun, Australian themes, big bright illustrations and a flipping of stereotypes, this book is for you! Thanks to all the ' Nanna's' who rock their little 'uns' world! (Reading age 3-6yrs).
