Summary
Granny McFlitter: Knitting to the Rescue!
Based on true events, this lively picture book tells the story of a sprightly granny who knits warm jumpers for little blue penguins after an oil spill.
But did Granny stop knitting? Oh no, she did not! She kept right on knitting …like it or not!
Granny McFlitter’s family have had enough of her knitting. But when a ship runs aground, spilling oil into the sea, a call goes out for small jumpers for the shivery rescued penguins…

About The Author
Heather Haylock
About the author
As a child, Heather Haylock could often be found reading a book while sitting on her horse, or perched way up high in a tree. She lives in Auckland where she has the best task in the world - helping five year olds learn to read books too. (But in a classroom, not on a horse or in a tree.)
She loves the challenge of knitting words into stories. Now, thanks to her research for Granny McFlitter and the penguins, Heather is also able to knit yarn into jumpers. If you want to find her, try looking up. She may be reading or writing a book, or knitting a jumper, way up high in a tree.
Heather’s original manuscript of Granny McFlitter, the Champion Knitter was shortlisted for the Storylines Joy Cowley Award in 2012.

Nowadays she spends her free time drawing at her home in Feilding.
