Family & home stories (Children's&YA)

Series: Aldana Libros

In this funny and heartwarming picture book, a grandfather shows his love and appreciation for a grandmother as he persuades her to attend a local dance with him.

Grandfather is tending his garden when a loudspeaker announces a dance in the local park. He asks Grandmother to join him, but she has many reasons to delay their outing: she needs to put eyeliner around her eyes which are as sad as a moonless night - and colour in her hair - which is as gray as an autumn cloud. Grandfather counters with loving arguments of his own: her sad eyes look like stars and her hair is as perfect and white as a summer cloud. Playful illustrations complement this touching banter, which culminates in a trip to the dance where Grandmother tells Grandfather, 'You are as pretty as the moon.'

Reviews for Grandparents

This book's generic title does not hint at what it actually delivers-a warmhearted romance, with a dance party at the end. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Fun and feisty-these memorable characters are a delight to know and revisit. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
