National Grandparents Day: Grandma’s First Tattoo
Fullers Bookshop, 131 Collins Street, Hobart, TAS 7000
The teacher says, ‘Do you have some news?’
‘Yes, my grandma went to Bali and got her first tattoo!’
From the award winning team of Phillip Gwynne and Tony Flowers comes this laugh-out-loud tale of a grandma and her tattoo, and the excitement it causes at her granddaughter’s school. A celebration of diversity – and grandparents – this beautifully illustrated book reminds us that tattoos are never just skin-deep, that they each tell a story, the inked chronicles of a lived life.
To mark National Grandparents Day on Sunday 29 October, come into Fullers for a special reading of Grandma’s First Tattoo with illustrator Tony Flowers.
Kids: You can also design a tattoo for your grandma or grandpa! What do you think your grandparent would get inked on their skin?
(And don’t forget to say hello to our incomparable resident tattooed grandma, Jo!)
*This is a free event.
