The main message of this book was to inform young readers about grandparents and families around the world and the similarities and differences among cultures. I enjoyed that the book showed grandparents from all over the world, including Romania, Russia, China and the USA. This showed readers the differences between the cultures. Each picture was labeled with the country the family was from which helped the reader learn about the culture and their family practices. I enjoyed that the text was simple, featuring sentences like “Grandparents take care of us, and we take care of them too”. The surrounding pictures show how grandparents take care of children around the world. I enjoyed this because the text did not overpower the images and the text was made accessible for young readers. Children still learn about families across the world but through pictures rather than heavy text. I liked that at the end of the book there was a section called “5 things to do with your grandparents”. The list includes celebrating the past, recording memories, playing together, planning an adventure and learning about your family. I think this is a nice touch to the book and allows readers to reflect on their own grandparents and culture. It is a nice tie between the book and the reader’s background and family. I thought this was a lovely book that celebrated both family and diversity. I enjoyed that the author began the book by showing multiple photographs of grandparents and grandchildren from different countries, and showing the reader how to say and pronounce "grandma" and "grandpa" in other languages (ex. Spanish, Hawaiian, Portuguese, etc.) I also enjoyed that the author chose to use photographs instead of illustrations. I think that this gives children a better real-world understanding of diversity, whereas using illustrations could leave the reader to his or her imagination. The author also provided a label of where the picture was taken to give readers a better sense of the different cultures. The main message of this non-fiction book was that no matter where we live, our grandparents care for us and we care for them. The relationship between a grandchild and grandparent is special no matter where in the world we come from. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
