When two siblings visit Grandma's house for a routine visit, they can't help but think she's stuffy, plain and no fun at all. But what they don't realise is that Grandma has a secret she's yet to reveal - and she might not be as boring as they first thought.

A book touching on the importance of protecting the world we live in, while also reinforcing the beauty of grandparent and grandchildren relationships. This poignant and humorous picture book from debut author/illustrator Martin Stanev would make a beautiful, and fun, addition to any child's bookshelf.
