APPEALS TO: SOME 

When Lola's grandmother Nana-Bibi comes to visit, she stays in Lola's room brings gifts and they have a wonderful time. Everyday is special when Nana-Bibi is visiting. 

Beardshaw's illustrations are darling, Lola is super cute. The story is just, regular? There's nothing especially different with Lola's grandmother than would happen with any other grandmother. Nothing special about her culture - that only comes with her visit - or particularly special things that happen. We don't really know where Nana-Bibi she is coming from other than the illustration on the end papers which look like possibly Brazil or Argentina.
