Nanna's Button Tin

I love nanna's button tin. It is full of stories.

Nanna’s button tin is very special. It has buttons of all shapes and sizes and they all have a different story to tell. But today, one button in particular is needed. A button for teddy.

A beautiful story about memories and the stories that shape a family.

“Nanna's Button Tin is a divine picture book offering. Many adults will share the joy of remembering a grandmother or mother's button tin, and the bond between generations depicted is really special. Wolfer's simple, heartwarming story is brought to life in beautiful pastel-toned gouache with ink outlines...Suitable for all ages, this is just beautiful.”
