Win an art set, a luxury candle and a copy of Looking Back Life Was Beautiful

looking back life was beautiful competition

To celebrate the release of Looking Back Life Was Beautiful by Grandpa Chan and Grandma Marina, the creators of @drawings_for_my_grandchildren, we’re giving away a Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour set, a Diptyque candle and a copy of the book - together worth over £100. Five runners-up will also win a copy of the book.

Based on the Webby award-winning Instagram account Drawings for My Grandchildren, this beautifully-illustrated book celebrates the special love shared between grandparents and their grandchildren.

Like many grandparents wishing to stay close to their grandchildren in a world in which so many families are spread across the globe, Korean grandparents Grandpa Chan and Grandma Marina, decided to learn how to use Instagram as a way to stay connected. What started as an intimate family project, their Instagram page @drawings_for_my_grandchildren has attracted a large following and their story has been featured in major press around the world.

This book inspired by their Instagram page features Chan's watercolors accompanied by Marina's texts. Whether it's to celebrate Astro becoming a big brother to Lua or to share the story of how the grandparents met for the first time and fell in love during their college years, Looking Back Life was Beautiful echoes with the kind of family love that spans generations and traverses geography.

A testament to the great wisdom only grandparents can provide to younger generations, Looking Back Life Was Beautiful will inspire families to always stay close and connected.

By giving away this artistic watercolour set, we hope that all gransnetters will be inspired by their story and find ways to creatively connect with their loved ones as well.
 

Looking Back Life Was Beautiful by Grandpa Chan and Grandma Marina is published by Particular Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House, and is available online and from Waterstones.
