Description
A touching tale that captures both the past and present in a story of family ties and childhood adventures. Granny’s Place is a touching, whimsical tale of family ties and the special place a grandparent has in the heart of a child.
Granny and Pa’s farm was the best place in the world, brimming with treasures of the past and endless adventures to be had… but time brings change. Regardless of uncertainty, there is an enduring love for Granny, and special childhood memories to be cherished forever.
Delightful illustrations bring the past to life and capture the fun of cousins gathering in a country kitchen and planning adventures amongst the beauty of rural Australia in the 1960s. Granny’s Place enriches both the understanding of time and Australia's past identity, through a wonderful story that celebrates the special bond between grandparent and child.
The targeted early childhood audience will share in the delight of adventure while gently being encouraged to accept that change comes with the rhythms of life.

About the Author
Allison Marlow Paterson is the author of the 2016 ABIA and CBCA longlisted title Anzac Sons: Five Brothers on the Western Front, the children’s version of the adult non-fiction title Anzac Sons: the Story of Five Brothers in the War to End All Wars. Both are based on a collection of over 500 letters sent from the Western Front by her grandfather and his four brothers. Her children’s picture books Granny’s Place and Shearing Time are inspired by childhood memories of her grandparents and life on the farm. Allison was a teacher-librarian for over twenty years and has reviewed children’s literature for Magpies Magazine for 15 years. Allison now works full-time as a writer and presenter in schools. She was a recipient of a 2017 May Gibbs Children’s Literature Trust Creative Time Fellowship. The resulting young adult manuscript Follow After Me was published in 2019. Australia Remembers: Anzac Day, Remembrance Day and War Memorials is the first in a series with the next, Customs and Traditions of The Australian Defence Force to be released in 2021.
