'Don't Worry Grandpa' is a story about a Grandpa who gets quite un-settled when it comes to thunderstorms. Throughout the story he is settled by his grandson Charlie, who keeps him calm by telling him the indigenous story of what is really happening in the sky outside. The story is written in thrid person as the author is telling the story about Grandpa and Charlie. It is a story that has great illustrative pictures that connect to the text, which can help the reader to not only understand that adults aren't the only ones able to give reassurance, but also the indigenous story behind thunder.
This story is both suitable for junior-middle primary students, as it is easy to understand and is quite an interesting picture book. It could be used for an English lesson if looking at nouns, verbs and adjectives, or even in indigenous history when looking at the dream time.
