A companion to Grandma's Guide to Happiness, this picture book from bestselling author Andrew Daddo is a heartwarming collection of grandfatherly philosophy.

My grandpa says the funniest things. He says the happiest days are the busiest days, and there's usually a stack of things to do.

It's always fun spending time with Grandpa -- fixing things in the shed, doing some gardening, fishing at the pier, or telling jokes in the backyard.

A joyful story celebrating grandfathers from beloved Australian author Andrew Daddo, with heartwarming art by Christopher Nielsen.

Grandpa's Guide to Happiness is the follow-up to Grandma's Guide to Happiness and both books are about good old-fashioned fun.

His illustrations are inspired by a deep passion for mid-century culture and design. In 2018 his first picture book saw him shortlisted for the CBCA Crichton Award for best new illustrator and in 2022 his book Just One Bee (written by Margrete Lamond and Anthony Bertini) received the CBCA Honour Award for Picture Book of the Year.
