Miss Eliza Flowerdew
Can Nearly Touch The Ceiling
Written by Brenda Gurr
Illustrated by Hélène Magisson
Lucy’s mum is taller than her. Her grandad is even taller.
So Lucy longs to take a peek at the very elderly
Miss Eliza Flowerdew – at her age, she might even be able to touch the ceiling! But is Lucy brave enough to find out the truth?
This is a magical story that explores how we can make incorrect assumptions about people, particularly the elderly. Along with Lucy, children will discover the rich experiences that make up a long life, the importance of memories and how the most unlikely friendships can be formed.
