I Call My Grandma Nana

32 pp. | Tricycle | August, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58246-251-6 $15.99
(4) K-3 Miss May's Chinese grandmother, Nai-Nai, and grandfather, Ye-Ye, visit the school. This prompts Miss May's students to share the names for their grandparents along with their favorite family activities. The gouache and collage illustrations, though crowded, are warm-hearted. Some of the text's rhymes are awkward, but the inclusiveness of several different cultures and representations of families is well thought-out. Glos. Review covers these titles: I Call My Grandma Nana and I Call My Grandpa Papa.
