Unwrapping Some Wonderful Illustrations for You

The Book

What a lucky little grandson to have such a supportive and loving Nana.  This delightful, intergenerational story will warm your heart.  

This Nana is awestruck by the possibilities she envisions in her beloved little grandson.  She attends every sporting event and school activity he participates in emerging as his number one cheerleader and fan.  She comes across as pushy and overbearing to those in charge of these events but her heart has one goal... to lift up and be there for her sweet little guy.  For instance, she screams at the umpire that he needs to get his eyes checked,  steps in and recalibrate the football coach's strategy for a win and dances in the aisle at his music concert.  Oh my!  Is Nana taking things a bit too far?

And then the unthinkable happens.  Nana falls and breaks her ankle.  She is unable to direct and dominate her grandson's activities.  Will he be happy or sad that she is out of commission and confined to her home now? 

The illustrations are cartoonish and extremely well implemented.  They are full of detail, emotion and activity.  Even though Nana is an elderly "stage mother" her grandson loves her deeply and practices the rule of reciprocity.  He takes care of her in her time of need just as she takes care of him in all that he is involved in.  I love the message of the book and I  highly recommend it.
