Grandma finds the perfect spot for her home on the shore of a lake. As her family gets bigger, the house grows too—and eventually becomes a castle! Bursting with toys, bunk beds, bedrooms and pies, the castle is a magical place full of love and traditions. Whole walls are reserved for family photos and grandchildren's drawings, and a huge playground fills the yard. Grandma and her family love boating, watching the loons, and having meals together in Grandma's giant dining room. The castle is built on a stone foundation so that it will last for years and years—and Grandma and her love will last forever in the memories of her family. Featuring vibrant illustrations by Jazmin Sasky, What Grandma Built is the poignant story of one family and its extraordinary grandmother, and is a whimsical take on the difference between a house and a home.

I work as a registered nurse at St Paul's hospital. I have 3 grandchildren ages 7 , 4 and 1. I have had this desire to write a book about my journey to Canada. The book would have been about the struggles of my life in South African and how I ended up in Canada. This would have been like opening a can of worms and I had mixed feeling about going back in time. Then it struck me, instead of writing a sad story, why not write something simple , light and easy. The world as I know it is filled with so many sad tales and I would like to focus on the "now" and future. We are surrounded with so much beautify and many of us (myself included) don't have time to stop and look around! My grand daughters inspired me to write this story. When they visit with me , I would take out the paint and we would paint for hours. I told about the seagulls on the roof and one of them even painted a seagull. I did not provide too much details about the seagulls progress because since it's a children's book I found that my grand daughters attention was very short, but when we made up stories that involved them , I had their attention for a longer periods.
