Anna Krikorian wrote these beautiful and true stories during the coronavirus lockdown year of 2020 for her 8 gorgeous grandchildren: Daniel, Ollie, Elena, Talica, James, Tom, Rose, and Aimatai. The children loved the stories and hearing of Dédé's troubles with that naughty squirrel. This is Anna's first foray into published work: her formal career was as a teacher. Her long-suffering husband is Dédé, which is the Armenian name for grandfather. Anna's son in law, Saki Vakaciwa, a wonderful illustrator, captured Dédé's mannerisms beautifully. Although, having grown up in Fiji and then in Australia, he did have trouble knowing what a squirrel looked like.
