My Gran Does Karate
"My gran does karate. She knows how to block and chop, and how to kick and spin.
Don't let her wrinkles and old skinny bones fool you. My gran is really strong!"
This legendary Gran is about to Hiii-Yah her way into your heart and show you what real Grannies are made of.
But who will be in the firing line when she chops and blocks her way all over town?
Everyone thinks their grandma is the greatest, right? Meet the grandma giving her family A LOT to brag about! Unexpected and joyful, this is a light-hearted picture book brought to life with playful illustrations by Anna Demchenko.
"My Gran Does Karate celebrates the connection of grandparents and grandchildren in a humorous and engaging way by debunking the stereotypes and highlighting the fact that grandmothers can have their own goals and achieve their own dreams.
This story will encourage young readers to try something new, be active and have fun!"
