Nana and Me: Special Poems Just for Us

From the pen of world-renowned poet, author, and nana, JaneYolen, come nineteen poems about grandmothers from around the world.

This sweet collection features nanas who dream and thosethat sing crying babies to sleep; nanas who hold hands crossing the street andsome who learn hopscotch; nanas who color with you and some who go to zoos;and other nanas spending precious time with their precious little ones.

From Spanish to Japanese, Swahilli to Yiddish, Scottish to Vietnamese,one thing is clear - No matter what language you say it in..."grandma" means "love."

Excerpt

When Nana Jane Sleeps

Sometimes she snores.

Sometimes she whistles.

Sometimes she is so quiet,

I tiptoe into her room

to make sure she is all right.

She always is.
