Esta Kakakios Storyteller granddad

Age 7

5-8 year olds

This is my storyteller granddad. He is the best storyteller. He tells me stories about the real Frankenstein and the Wolfman at night when I’m in bed. When he comes up from Sydney and visits me, he says I’m lucky to be away from the rat-race and to live in the beautiful country. Last time he said he would wake me early and get me dressed so I can drive home with him without mummy knowing. But then he laughed and I knew he was joking. He calls me ‘poppy seed’. I love my granddad.
