Nana Will Say Yes, is bang on!
💕Nana’s have no boundaries when it comes to bringing and sharing in joy with their grandchildren. Her back could be sore, the children may hog the covers or show her bugs (ewwww), but she will never be phased!
💕What I really liked about this rhyming story, is that nana is relatable. The illustrations represent what grandmothers look like today rather than the older grey haired grannies. I really appreciated this because I can finally relate!
💕And children will relate too! Littles will find themselves well represented in their relationship with nana throughout this book. I envision parents agreeing that, “yes, this is nana,” as they read along with their littles.
💕This would be a great book for littles and grandmothers to read together. They’ll be making memories and they relive memories through these pages.

**I received an ARC for my honest review.**
This is an adorably cute book that showcases a grandmother's love perfectly. Grandparents are made to spoil their grand-babies, and that is exactly what’s happening in “Nana Will Say Yes”.
In her first published book, the author rhymes her way onto our bookshelves. Since my daughters are past the proper age range audience, they found the book to be repetitive and the rhythm jumbled on a couple pages. However, for younger kids, they won’t notice that at all. They’ll love the snuggles in Nana’s lap as they read together.
The illustrations are great. Very vibrant, jumping off the page.
This book makes just the right gift for a grandmother/grandchild to encourage reading bonding time.

This book is such a wonderful and sweet loving story between a NaNa and her grand-baby. Grandparents love spoiling their grandchildren, just like in this book. It's so easy to say "yes" to them, especially when we know time goes so fast.
Younger children are going to love this book! The words rhyme and the vibrant colors will grab their attention. Along with them realizing that their Nana always says "yes".
Adding a physical copy to my wishlist for my future grandbaby's library!
With the holidays coming, now's a great time to pick up a copy for their library, too!

This adorable book will delight adults and children alike. While I was reading it, I was reminded of the wonderful relationship I had with my grandmother. She was always there to support me, ready to snuggle and say yes to any adventure I could dream up. She was so much fun and I treasure her memory now, even though she has passed.
Children will love the gorgeous illustrations and delightful story about a grandma who is always ready to have fun and bond with her granddaughter. I highly recommend this book as it celebrates the unique bond between grandmothers and granddaughters.

What a sweet book that shows the relationship between a child and her grandmother. Both ages will relate to it. And I love that the child will agree with all these messages but when she gets a little older, she will understand them better. The one about time is quite precious. The adults will appreciate the acknowledgment of their love.
Vibrant illustrations with so much to explore.

‘Nana Will Say Yes’ is a sentimental rhyming story that highlights the importance of the special bond between children and their grandparents. The simple sentences makes the story a pleasure to read time and time again. The bright colourful pictures give lots to talk about and start conversations with little ones about the things they do with their Grandparents.

An ode to dotting grandmas
Nana Will Say Yes is a lovely tribute to the dotting grandmas who just can’t, just won’t say “no” to their grand babies. More cookies? Yes! Stay up late? Yes? Even though the parents say “no.” For, as the book says, grandmas know the time will go by fast.

Nana will say yes because Nana knows best
This is such a sweet book about the love between a grandma and grandchild. Loved it! Would
Make a wonderful gift to a grandma too! It’s also a book to challenge parents to consider using “yes” a bit more often! I know I could use that reminder to live in the moment and enjoy my kids! Time is fleeting!

Nana for the WIN!
Received this darling book as a gift and so grateful I did. The beautiful rhyming story shows the special bond between a child and a grandmother. It reminds us to cherish the time we have with loved ones. As I read the story it brought back loving memories of my grandmother and she always said… “YES”. This will make a great gift for the family to read.

Nana will say yes is a super cute story showing you the endless love your grandma or any grandparent can have for their grandchildren. This book read was close to the heart because my kids call one of their grandmas “Nana.” If you need a smile or a reminder of the love someone can have for you, go get your copy of Nana will say yes.

Perfect book for all Grandmas!
I loved this story. I know many families will relate to Nana and her granddaughter - It reminds me of my daughter and mom's relationship! My mom (Grammy) will ALWAYS say yes lol. I can't wait to show this to her ♥️

Nana's are the best-they always say yes!
A sweet, colorful easy to read, rhyming book that shows the strong bond between a Nana and her granddaughter. The repetitive sentence on each page reinforces that Nana's just can't say no for all the good reasons and how life's moments are precious, as time goes by far too quickly. A great book for any Nana to give to her grandchild.

A sweet tribute to the grandmothers who spoil us (and the grandchildren who love them for it)! There's no one like a grandma, and this brought back special memories of my grandmother and all the ways she showered me with love and treats.

Loved it! My mom was so happy to receive this as a gift. My child calls her “Nana” and watching the two of them reading it together was absolutely precious.
