Grandparents

by Ariel Andrés Almada, Sonja Wimmer

Grandparents — The fifth book in the dazzling bestselling saga about family love. A tribute to the lifelong bond between grandparents and grandsons.

“My grandparents are around me in all different ways. I can feel them in the wind, and in the flight of the butterflies”

Today I’m going to write a letter straight from the heart, hoping that words can explain what my grandparents mean to me. I’d like to capture on a piece of paper every afternoon we spent in the park, the delicious aromas from grandma's kitchen, the crazy stories I have always been told, and the stories they whispered in my ear at nightfall. I know that when I grow up, those memories will keep on guiding me for many, many years, and I will cherish the tenderness you inspire forever.

This story about unconditional love and gratitude towards life will fill your hearts with tenderness and create a safe environment to share a magic moment with your children.

An endearing and tender story-poem, where the words are a small tribute to the grandparents of any of the little readers who want to read it, with a message as emotional as its pages are soft. With elaborate, original and beautiful illustrations.

Un entrañable y tierno cuento-poema, donde las palabras son un pequeño homenaje a los abuelos de cualquiera de los pequeños lectores que quieran leerlo, con un mensaje tan emotivo como suaves son sus páginas. Con una elaboradas, originales y preciosas ilustraciones.

This is one of those books that I'm not totally sure of the audience. I think it was more written (or at least better suited) as a book to be given to grandparents rather than read with small children. For those in upper elementary or middle school who are thoughtful and enjoy reading, it would be a great book for them to get and then read to their grandparents.

The art definitely has a unique style; some of the illustrations I think are beautiful and some are just a bit odd. Regardless, as you can tell by my 4 stars, overall I liked the book...and it may or may not have made me tear up for various reasons.
