My Grandpa Is Great

A child describes an amazing grandfather.

Meet Grandpa - he's a terrific cook, a fantastic dancer, and he grows the biggest pumpkins you've ever seen. In short, he's GREAT!

My Grandpa is the stunning picture book debut from Marta Altés, author of I Am An Artist. A moving and memorable book about the very special relationship between an elderly grandfather and his adoring grandson, this unique look at old age through the eyes of a young bear is big-hearted, poignant and beautifully observed.

This book celebrates the special names that children call their grandparents (some culturally based, some wonderfully made up) and features the unique activities they do together. Full color.

To young boys and girls, the elderly can be full of mystery--sometimes seeming even weird and strange. When a young boy hesitates visiting his great grandpa, his mother's soothing words explain the love and the lifetime of memories our elders have to share with us.

A small girl takes her great grandpa out in his wheelchair and they talk about many things. When they return home he is grumpy and Grandma says how sad it must be to be like Great Grandpa. The little girl disagrees as she thinks it must be great to know all the things he does.

Featuring children's own words and heart-warming pictures, this is the perfect book for children to share with Grandpa! 'I love my grandpa because... ' Everyone's grandpa is the best. And who better to tell the world than children themselves? This charming book combines endearing things said by children about their grandpas with gentle illustrations of familiar animals. The text is amusing and insightful, with reasons why grandpas are loved by their children ranging from 'because he says funny things' to 'because he makes every day special'. With beautiful pictures and charming words from children - this is the perfect book to read together!
