Grandude is super-cool grandfather and a one-of-a-kind traveler! With his magic compass, he whisks his four grandkids off on whirlwind adventures. As a result, he takes them all around the globe. Join them as they ride flying fish, dodge stampedes, and escape avalanches! Not to mention, music legend, Paul McCartney writes this caper and Kathryn Durst illustrates.
Since writing his first song at the age of fourteen, Paul McCartney has had an impossibly prolific and singularly influential career. In the 1960s, Paul changed the world forever with The Beatles. He didn’t stop there, continuing to push boundaries as a solo artist, with Wings, and through collaborations with numerous world-renowned artists. He has received eighteen Grammys, and in 1997 was knighted by Her Majesty the Queen for his services to music. Paul’s most recent album, Egypt Station, was his first one to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts.
