- A competition In celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee -
WIN A CopY of ‘My Granny is a Queen’
Three winners to be JUDGED by the YELLOW-LIGHTED BOOKSHOP
THREE books to WIN - THREE ways to do it
Entry is free and you can enter all three if you like (one entry per task) - a lucky winner will be chosen from each category. GOOD LUCK!
TASK 1. WORDS
WhAT MAKES your grand person so special?
In no more than 50 words tell us about your grand person and why they are so special. Not everyone has a ‘granny’ but most of us know a grand person - someone older who makes life great! It might be your grandad, auntie, a family friend or Jenny at the sweet shop - it’s up to you!
TASK 2. CROWN
Decorate a crown!
Just download and print the sheet below, cut out a crown and give it some bling! Card is good but paper will work, too. Use whatever you’ve got to make it really stand out - gold, glitter, dried lentils. If in doubt, add more!
TASK 3. SELFIE
TAKE a ROYAL selfie!
Once you’ve finished decorating your crown use it in a selfie. You can ask your grand person to do it - if they live far away just pop in the post and ask them to send you a photo of them wearing it - or you could wear it yourself, just like this. Say “CORGI-EESE!”
