***STARRED REVIEW***
Yaccarinos signature illustrations feature bold, bright colors and patches of pattern on each spread, coupled flawlessly with Beckers exhilarating text to capture the immeasurable love shared between the child and her grandfather. Sure to be a cherished favorite, this simple but resonant book is highly recommended for early elementary collections.
Shelly Becker is the author of One, Two, Grandma Loves You, which School Library Journal called a pure, cadenced classic in a starred review. Her other books include Even Superheroes Get Scared, Even Superheroes Make Mistakes, Even Superheroes Have Bad Days (a 2018 Blue Spruce Award Nominee that Kirkus Reviews called an action-packed romp), and Mine! Mine! Mine!, which has been included on many Top Five and Top Ten lists of books that teach the concept of sharing. Becker lives in Toronto, far away from her three wonderful grandchildren, who live in New Jersey. When they cant be together in person, they keep in touch by speaking on the phone and sending plenty of pictures and videos.
