This month for Positive Childhood supported by the ICA we have a fun project for grandkids and grandparents to do together.
We want you to have fun with your grandchild teaching them something that you know well and learned yourself when you were younger.
Or maybe your grandchild can teach you a technology skill that they have learned.
For example,
- teach them how to knit or crochet,
- show them how to make scones or another favourite recipe, or any other thing that you enjoy doing and would like to show them
- they could show you how to send an email or how to scan a photograph on the computer.
Tell us a little about the project you did together, then submit a photo of the thing you did or made together here and tell us a little about yourself as well.

About the Book
A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wife captures a remarkable period of time and a love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley.
A heartbreaking portrayal of love and torn loyalty, The Paris Wife is all the more poignant because we know that, in the end, Hemingway wrote that he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but Hadley[Goodreads]

About the Book
Natalia Stefanovi, a doctor living (and, in between suspensions, practicing) in an unnamed country that's a ringer for Obreht's native Croatia, crosses the border in search of answers about the death of her beloved grandfather, who raised her on tales from the village he grew up in, and where, following German bombardment in 1941, a tiger escaped from the zoo in a nearby city and befriended a mysterious deaf-mute woman. The evolving story of the tiger's wife, as the deaf-mute becomes known, forms one of three strands that sustain the novel, the other two being Natalia's efforts to care for orphans and a wayward family who, to lift a curse, are searching for the bones of a long-dead relative; and several of her grandfather's stories about Gavran Gailé, the deathless man, whose appearances coincide with catastrophe and who may hold the key to all the stories that ensnare Natalia [Goodreads]
