When I Was A Child

"When I Was a Child" brings together two mega talents in children's books - Andy Stanton, the bestselling author of Mr Gum, and David Litchfield, the award-winning creator of The Bear and The Piano.
The simple message of the books is that one is never too old to continue seeing the magic in the world and that children are the best people to remind grown-ups that magic really does exist everywhere you look. In this case through the eyes of a grandchild/grandparent relationship.
Talking to elders and hearing their memories is so important for children in building a sense of their own identity and developing empathy, and this book captures those "when I was your age" conversations beautifully – and could also prompt sharing many more.
Make a list of the rhymes and near rhymes heard in the poem.
What is the name of the grand-daughter?
Why do you think the colours did not fade?
What might the world have looked like if if was a 'crystal jewel'?
How or why might a river grow 'tired'?
Why do you think the grandma can't see the magic but the grand-daughter can?
