A Letter to Granny
Illustrated by John Prater
Lucy goes to sleep thinking about her Granny's visit but when she wakes up next morning she finds that 101 Acacia Road has turned into 101 Acacia Road Island. She has an exciting day playing on the beach, whale and dolphin spotting and sends a message to Granny in a bottle. Sure enough Granny arrives by boat and they have a wonderful seaside time. Lucy's dream, portrayed in wide and wonderful seascapes, is mingled with the reality of the day which is seen in the small frames set within them. Throughout the whole, the obvious love that she and Granny share shines through.
