And as the worries grow smaller, Victor feels a bit bigger, a bit braver, and bit fiercer inside!

"There’s more to Frank than meets the eye… A quirky, witty and utterly brilliant picture book from the award-winning creator of Marshall Armstrong is New to our School, performed by Stephen Mangan. Frank is your typical grandad, but no one has a grandad like him… If you had to stand up and talk, for one whole minute, about a member of your family, who would you pick?

In this hilarious, wise and heart-warming story, awesome new talent David Mackintosh shows with a supreme lightness of touch just how much the older generation has to teach us, and how much fun learning from them can be.
