About the book
My Granny is a Queen
This book is a big, beautiful celebration of grandmothers. They may not live in grand palaces, wear gold crowns, or attend fancy balls, but for many of us, grannies are the queens of the family.
Showing 11 different families, from Nana and her ‘royal pooches’ to Nanny in her ‘faraway castle’, each page offers a funny and heartwarming description of grandmothers as queens one and all, told from the perspective of their adoring grandchildren.
