Product Description

Book Description

Children's sequel to the acclaimed and best-selling Change the World for a Fiver, from the social change movement We Are What We Do.

Product Description

"Teach Your Granny to Text" is the children's sequel to "Change the World for a Fiver", the bestseller produced by the global social change movement, We Are What We Do. It's a movement whose aim is to inspire people - in this case children - to use their everyday actions to change the world. Their maxim is: small actions X lots of people = big change. It's not rocket science but it does work! The thirty actions in this book will be fun and easy for children to do but will add up to making a big difference and giving them the responsibility for changing the world, one bit at a time.We Are What We Do began life in the UK as a project of the charity Community Links, an innovative inner city charity running community-based projects in east London. The charity's founder, David Robinson, had the original idea after 25 years as a community worker in east London where he saw both the need for change and the power of people coming together to make it happen. David was joined by a small development group which included people from the creative industries, business, the voluntary sector and government. Among this group was Eugenie Harvey, an Australian with a background in communications and marketing. Shortly after meeting David and joining the group, she quit her job and joined as a volunteer to develop the project.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cheerful Little Surprise, 2 Oct 2008
By J. A. Taylor (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've just read my own hard-won copy of Teach Your Granny To Text. What a little beauty. Readable cover to cover in 10 minutes, but it's like a really good meal or a really amazing novel - brilliant flashes keep coming back to remind you of how much you have enjoyed it. It's clever and relevant and colourful. Most importantly, it's happy and hopeful. It's encouraging that kids of today could come up with such fantastic ideas and that adults could collate the information and ideas into such a friendly package. It's just great.

5.0 out of 5 stars AT LAST, 25 Sep 2008
By R. Taylor "Bing Taylor" (CT but now UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
FINALLY we're able to buy a book that enhances everyone's life. Beautifully produced, written and illustrated by a company that appears to represent the best values of humanity in this time when we are all called upon to realize (and benefit from) the good things that all our fellow human beings have to offer, I have drawn up a long list of my fellow "oldies" who will benefit massively from this wonderful book. A book that could not only make Christmas, but the rest of life, for many older citizens who yearn for recognition and live in fear of waste (of their own resources) and neglect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, colourful and worthwhile, 27 Sep 2008
Having the other two books published by We Are What We Do this is a brilliant follow on.... just flicking through the pages compels you to read on, bright, colourful and interesting. If anyone who reads it can just put one suggestion into place then we're heading in the right direction. All in all, a fun, colourful, light hearted read. A worthwhile stocking-filler.
