Grandma’s New Home is a gentle picture book that helps children understand what happens when a loved one moves into aged care. It encourages empathy, emotional expression, and connection between generations.

Aimed at children aged 3-7, this gentle Australian picture book is ideal for helping kids understand when a grandparent moves into aged care or a nursing home. It supports emotional literacy and creates space for important family conversations.

The story is written by Australian author Roy Wood and illustrated by Serena Originario, whose beautiful watercolour illustrations bring the story to life with warmth and sensitivity
