My Nana and me Review Children’s Literature Review

Children's Literature Review: Muted watercolors capture every nuance of the joy that is felt by this grandmother and her granddaughter. The intimate and celebratory moments of their day together are chronicled in a text that is as sweet and loving as the pair. Tea parties, combing and braiding Nana's hair, Eskimo kisses, bath time giggles, and quiet bedtime reading are the simple joys that cement the bond that will last a lifetime. The warmth and joy of this intergenerational relationship are captured in the expressive watercolor paintings rendered in soft hues. This is a beautiful and tender book just begging to be shared.
