Praise for My Grandpa STARRED REVIEW "The relationship between grandfather and grandson is evocatively portrayed in this spare but powerful look at the warm interdependency of age and youth." ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review "The story’s magic is found in its spare illustrations and hushed quiet, as though you were being whispered to under the covers." ―The New York Times Book Review "This gentle and affecting book is narrated by a young bear whose grandfather is exhibiting signs of advanced age and dementia. The simple text uses single sentences that vacillate between the joy of the pair’s loving bond and the young bear’s honest look at Grandpa’s decline… An accessible and touching look at aging for young children." ―School Library Journal "The warm imagery and gentle telling have appeal well beyond the utility of the subject matter and make this an interesting choice for a storytime read-aloud." ―Booklist

My Grandma Says is a warm look at love, given both in words and in actions. Children and adults alike will find this book a wonderful and insightful reading experience. Children often attempt to invoke authority through claims like “my grandma says I can have two cookies” or “my grandma says I can stay up late and watch this television show.” However, this is usually far from the truth. Grandmas may love to spoil their grandchildren, but they always have their best interests at heart. My Grandma Says is a collection of both funny and wise sayings that grandmothers impart to their grandchildren. Written in the form of a dialogue between a grandma and her grandchild, this compilation of wisdom keeps children (and adults) engaged and laughing. Intended for children between the ages of four and seven, this book is great for reading aloud. The comments of the grandmother are entertaining and fun for both children and adults alike.
