Prepare for the journey of a lifetime! Ben's favourite person in the whole, wide world is Gran, and Gran's favourite person in Ben. There is only one problem -- they live a whole, wide world apart. Now Gran is coming to visit. But with rocky rivers, scorching deserts and seasick cats to contend with, will she ever reach Ben's in time for tea? The split page design allows children to follow Gran's amazing journey at the same time as watching Ben busy making his preparations for her visit.
Author Biography
Katharine McEwen studied Illustration at Kingston University and then spent two years in France as an artist in residence. Her distinctively witty characterisation has already received wide attention, for example in her work with Allan Ahlberg on the Gaskitt Family series for Walker, the first title in which, THE MAN WHO WORE ALL HIS CLOTHES, won the Children's Book Award for Best Illustrated Book to Read Aloud.
