ACHUKA Book of the Day 11 Sep 2026
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
ISBN: 9781035065516
This is a title that needs no help from ACHUKA to be brought to people’s notice but it goes without saying that it is a publishing event that cannot be ignored.
Julia Donaldson says, “I really hope that children – and adults too – will enjoy the new story, as I know what a wonderful experience shared reading can be. I was delighted when Axel came on board, and am even more so now that I’ve seen the brilliant sketches he’s already done for the new book.”
Axel Scheffler says “…One day out of the blue there came a wonderfully clever and inspired new text by Julia. How does she do this? Could I decline? Of course not! As I have had to draw the odd Gruffalo and his daughter over the last 20 years, I’m not completely out of practice.”
Gruffalo Granny is here!
We were delighted to have Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler come to open a special pop-up at @WaterstonesPicc, showcasing their creative partnership and its latest addition, Gruffalo Granny!
