FAMILY ROLE
Grandfather
Grandpa Leon is Jake and Jack's grandfather and part of the wider Morrow family they rely on when life becomes difficult.
JAKE AND JACK'S GRANDFATHER
Grandpa Leon
Family matters most when things go wrong.
A much-loved member of the Morrow family. Grandpa Leon is part of the wider family circle that becomes especially important when an ordinary day turns into a genuine emergency.
WHO IS GRANDPA LEON?
A Grandfather Who Matters
Grandpa Leon is Jake and Jack Morrow's grandfather and an important part of their family. He belongs to the generation beyond Mum and Dad, giving the twins another strong family connection.
In This Is My Big Emergency, family suddenly matters more than ever. When Mum's health becomes a frightening concern, the story reminds Jake that emergencies do not affect only one person—they ripple through everyone who loves them.
Grandpa Leon represents that wider family bond: somebody Jake and Jack care about, respect and do not want to let down. His presence helps make the Morrow family feel larger than the four people living under one roof.
