Description:
An inclusive picture book for grandparents everywhere.
In every country around the world are grandpas short and tall.
Though they go by different names, we love them one and all.
From brilliant new talents Ashleigh Barton and Martina Heiduczek, comes a charming and heart-warming book that celebrates the many different ways we say grandpa.
What Do You Call Your Grandpa? is a love letter to grandfathers and families from every corner of the globe.
My View:
A celebration of all names for grandpa – with images of traditional elements of the culture being explored in each page, this book is a delight to read with your pre-schooler. Caregivers, pre-schoolers and teachers alike will find this a useful resource when discussing inclusivity in the global community of contemporary Australia. And a great gift idea for the upcoming (grand) fathers’ days 😊
What a lovely idea for a book, Carol! I really like the sense of family, as well as the look at other cultures and languages. And the illustrations seem excellent, too.
I am constantly amazed at the high quality of kids books these days Margot
