Albert lives in a grey, dull and ordinary world. Even his birthday is just like every other day. That is, until his Grandma Z turns up on her motorbike.
The inventively delightful Grandma Z helps Albert rev up his imagination, unleashing an extraordinary world of colour, excitement and adventure that ensures Albert never feels ordinary again.
This debut picture book from self-taught Sydney illustrator Daniel Gray-Barnett is brimming with fun and magic.
It's a wonderful treat with oodles of hand-drawn texture and bold three-colour printing reminiscent of a mid-century aesthetic. And there's so much treasure-hunting to be had on each page, especially the scenes when Grandma Z and Albert go adventuring.
You'll find a fabulous flock of birds when the pair climb Enchanted Rock, plenty of quirky goodies at Mr McQuillen's curiosity shop and a colourful line-up of characters at Albert's birthday bash.
It's great fun to read out loud and is sure to be a hit with grandparents who love to share joyful experiences with their grandchildren.
