Inspiration
Author Stephanie Kwok became inspired to write a golf themed children’s picture book as her eldest son developed an obsession with the sport in his early years. At the age of two, her eldest son would spend the majority of his days practicing his ‘big hits’ or his ‘putting’.
Her son would recite all the golf terminology, ‘fairway’, ‘bunker’, ‘rough’, ‘iron’, ‘wood’…..and so on! What started as gentle golf practice in the house with a toddler set of plastic golf clubs, soon became confined to the garden with a set of junior golf clubs.
Trying to find children’s picture books based on golf was difficult and the choice was very limited. This inspired Stephanie to write ‘Granny Gets Golf’ and to look into the possibility of getting the book published.
Years later, Stephanie is now delighted to share ‘Granny Gets Golf!’, thanks to Mascot Kids Publishing and the fantastically talented illustration by Shaun Ivie.
