Little Iggy does not want to leave the house, but Grandad insists - they always have fun together.
What follows is a wonderful journey in the great Australian outdoors with singing birds, wallaby surprises, secret caterpillar messages and oodles of grandad humour.
Here is a story about the wonders of nature, the funny side of life and spending time with the ones we love.
Born in Melbourne in 1942, Gwyn Perkins began his artistic career when he won a newspaper drawing prize of one guinea and a box of paints (mistakenly awarded to Miss Gwyn Perkins).
He spent many years as a successful animator in the advertising industry before moving to an island north of Sydney to enjoy a slower pace.
He spends his days drawing, sailing and doing odd jobs for his friends and family. Gwyn has two adult sons and lives with his wife and teenage daughter.
