Dada may be celebrating his 82nd birthday but he still considers himself spry, until a seemingly thoughtful gift from his son tells him otherwise. Nalini Sorensen beautifully captures the spirit of aging grandparents who refuse to cede their independence. Charming watercolour illustrations by the hugely talented Allen Shaw enliven this buoyant tale. Winner of the Jarul Book Award, 2018 “This colourful story brings forth the beautiful spirit of grandparents and their loving nature… The watercolour illustrations that accompany the story are humorous and entertaining.” (Robin Age) “The author blends humour, affection and the little details of everyday life into an engaging tale. Allen Shaw’s beautiful watercolour illustrations invite the reader into Panu’s home and show the story of how her grandfather dealt with his ‘not-so-useless’ present.” (Goodbooks)
