Reviews

Ellis’s noisy, bright, dynamic pages, filled with grandparents riding rollercoasters, smooching, dancing and flipping whole stackfuls of pancakes, assert that the elderly, too, can be anarchically amazing.
This is a defiantly upbeat book . . . grandparents are the rising stars of children's fiction – and this simple, touching story shows why – 5 stars, Book of the Week
This is one of those picture books that make wonderful use of the way children read illustrations while adults read words aloud.
Ellis tackles ageism and celebrates older people . . . Her art, reminiscent of Sara Ogilvie has a real joyful energy.
