Gill Cooper alias 'Granny' was born in Kenya, East Africa where she lived until the age of 12. She has also spent time living in South Africa. In the 1970s she was a PA in the city of London. She moved on to set up her own catering business followed by a very successful interior design business. Art has always been a passion and this is her first attempt at both writing and illustrating a book. The initial concept was to give her grandchildren an insight into her formative years in Africa but she felt it important to add a sprinkle of magic and vibrant colour.
An extremely fascinating and enchanting book for young children. This book takes them on a journey of magic and friendship through Africa.The colourfully illustrated characters certainly capture the imagination and this debut story by Granny must surely lead to more adventures.
This book is TOTAL Magic in itself. My grandchildren aged between 4 and 11 loved the story, they were captivated especially with the colourful drawings. I too enjoyed reading it to them. My 7 year old who read it by himself asked me, Nana, is there another book?
The author has engaged the imagination for all ages.
The illustrations are so colourful and beautifully drawn taking in the African theme.
There are so many children that do not know of the animals of Africa, all children loves stories of animals and Magic in any form.
Such an amazing story, beautifully illustrated and great value.
Never mind the grandchildren being captivated Dooo Doo (granny in our family) loves all the adventures and characters. Such happy memories of her time growing up in Africa and now, with Gills imagination and joie de vie , it brings it all alive for the 3 to 6 year olds!! We are hunting for giant tadpoles in our garden!!
