Just released! The third book in My Nana Says... and My Grandma Says... series'
Welcome to a heartwarming picture book series celebrating the funny, puzzling, unforgettable things grandparents say.
Every grandparent has a few old sayings. Every child has wondered what on earth they actually mean.
This series captures the warm, giggly muddle that happens when Nana's ) or Grandma's) old-fashioned expressions meet a child's wonderfully literal imagination.
What happens when someone is knee-high to a grasshopper? Why would anyone save a cookie for a rainy day? Can your eyes really be bigger than your stomach, and how does a cat get out of a bag in the first place? To the grown-ups, they're just sayings. To the children, they're the strangest, silliest, wisest puzzles in the world.
Written by Jan M. Watson, each book follows a curious grandchild through a day with Nana (or Grandma), taking her colourful expressions hilariously at face value.
The result is a string of delightful misunderstandings, laugh-out-loud moments, and imaginative adventures, all wrapped in the timeless bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Along the way, little ones discover the joy of language, the fun of curiosity, and the comfort of being loved exactly as they are.
Warm watercolour illustrations and a cozy, vintage cottage-life charm make every title a comforting bedtime read-aloud to share on the lap, and a delightful first reader as children grow. Join Nana (or Grandma), her grandchildren, and their faithful Siamese cat as they explore the wonderful world of words, one funny saying at a time.
Perfect for ages 2 to 8: a snuggly read-aloud for toddlers and preschoolers, a giggly early reader for school-age children, and a treasured gift for families and grandparents who know that the silliest sayings often become the most cherished memories.
