About the book
This book is a charming story about the strong bond of love between a little girl and her beloved Nana. It takes you through a special day they spend together enjoying a tea party, dressing up fancy, playing hide-and-seek, sharing Eskimo kisses sprinkled with words of endearment, plaiting Nana's hair, playing pat-a-cake and much more. They are truly enjoying each other's company so much just lovin' on one another.
After a warm bath the little girl basks in cuddle time curled up on Nana's knee. Nana reads story after story to her which delights them both. Then it's time for bed. The two lovebirds snuggle up under the blankets and drift off to sleep to the rhythm of their heartbeats blending together.
The amazing illustrations are softly coloured and they augment the strong feeling of the love that flow between the two. The illustrator has included at the beginning of the book a place to insert a picture of the reader's Nana which personalizes the book making it a family treasure. This heartwarming story is a celebration of love between a granddaughter and her grandmother and I highly recommend it.
