Annette Zera and Viv Szekeres are sisters living in England and South Australia. They made these books thinking of Esther, Jarrah, George, William, Cora, Lola, Sam and Fred. Thanks go to Janet Ayliffe, South Australian artist and teacher for all her advice and encouragement and to her students in the Hahndorf Art Class for their generous enthusiasm and support.

Grandma gets a Visitor

It is dusk and Grandma has been watering the garden when, turning off the tap, she accidentally shakes a tree and a family of baby birds fall out of their nest. Of course this (true) story ends happily but not without some drama! The paintings that illustrate this story are just gorgeous. Grandma Gets A Fright is written and illustrated by two sisters, one living in the U.K. and the other in Australia. Enjoyed by children aged 2 - 6.
