AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Offsay has captured the perfection and the magic of Grandma's in this charming book. She represents all the fun things that good Grandma's do with their grandchildren from exploring and adventures to baking, gardening, and most of all snuggles. The diversity of the cast is truly inspiring, representing all races and abilities. There is even a grandma in a wheelchair. 

Offsay's word choice creates such a fun visual accompanying the illustrations which are vibrant and fun. The illustrator does an amazing job filling the page with wonderful things to look at and portraying Grandmas in all different ways. I had a close relationship with my grandma and this book does a beautiful job portraying the magic of Grandmas. I absolutely adore this book.
