BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Nina's grandmothers live on opposite sides of the world, one in England, the other in Malaysia, while Nina lives between them in San Francisco. When she goes to visit them, her days are different because of where they live, but they care for her in a similar way, taking her to the beach, having her help around the garden, and putting her to bed.
Oh! I loved Nana, Nenek & Nina so much. The illustrations are great - I loved the detail that reflects the country she is visiting. The layout of the text with a 2-page spread of the visit to each grandmother and how each activity was the same and different. The clothes she wore, the foods she ate, even her bedroom. I can't wait to start recommending Nana, Nenek & Nina. Nina is mixed race, Nana is English and Nenek is Malaysian
