A fun story about learning about age and appreciating each other

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Nia's parents have to work in the holidays, so they ask Gran to come and stay. Nia thinks summer won't be fun, as surely Gran won't know how to make friendship bracelets or climb trees with her. But Nia's gran surprises her, and together, they discover that you're never too old or too young to have fun and learn new things.

This story is perfectly pitched for 5-7 year olds and supports the PSHE curriculum core theme of relationships, looking at families and respecting others. It includes advice and activity notes for parents, teachers and carers.

Naomi Jones is the author of many acclaimed children's books, including The Perfect Fit, One More Try, The Odd Fish, How to Catch a Rainbow and Thunderboots. Her books have been published in 20 languages and shortlisted for multiple awards. In 2025, Naomi was shortlisted for the Ruth Rendell Award for services to literacy.

Gorgeous illustrations by Lizzy Metcalfe, winner of the Children's Publishing New Talent Category at the World Illustration Awards 2024.
