Thrifty Nan – Written by Susan Appleby, Illustrated by Lisa Coutts (Soft Cover)

Join a young girl and her beloved grandmother—the one and only “Thrifty Nan”—as they spend their days hunting for hidden gems in local thrift shops. From the excitement of a new find to the importance of making donations, Thrifty Nan is a beautiful celebration of sustainable living and the magic of giving items a second life.

Between the racks of vintage treasures and the cozy cafe where Nan shares her best advice over tea and scones, readers will discover that being “thrifty” is about more than just saving money; it’s about caring for the environment and celebrating your own individuality.

With exquisite, colorful illustrations by Lisa Coutts, this book is a wonderful way to inspire the next generation of eco-conscious explorers to find beauty in the unexpected.
