‘This book will inspire and reinforce the importance of fun in growing up and lead you to believe that every day can be “unordinary”.’
—Herald Sun

‘Grandma Z celebrates the power of vivid imagination, and the illustrations are absolutely spectacular, with bold colours and strong brushstrokes that convey a magical world. Daniel Gray-Barnett … has created something entirely unique that is both readable and a visual feast.’
—Angela Crocombe, Books+Publishing

Daniel Gray-Barnett is an illustrator and author from the Huon Valley in Lutruwita/Tasmania. He likes to think of himself as someone who was put on this planet to tell a few stories before he turns into a grumpy old man. He’s worked with clients including Disney, Kiehl’s, Sydney Opera House and The New York Times and his first picture book, Grandma Z, won a Children’s Book Council of Australia award for Best New Illustrator.

When he’s not in the studio, he can be found daydreaming in the garden with his husband, German pointers and chickens.
