Grandparents  Cover Image Book Book

Grandparents / by Chema Heras ; illustrations by Rosa Osuna ; translated by Elisa Amado.

Heras, Chema, (author.). Osuna, Rosa, 1961- (illustrator.). Amado, Elisa, (translator.).

Summary:

"In this funny and heartwarming picture book, a grandfather shows his love and appreciation for a grandmother as he persuades her to attend a local dance with him. Grandfather is tending his garden when a loudspeaker announces a dance in the local park. He asks Grandmother to join him, but she has many reasons to delay their outing: she needs to put eyeliner around her eyes--which are as sad as a moonless night--and color in her hair--which is as gray as an autumn cloud. Grandfather counters with loving arguments of his own: her sad eyes look like stars and her hair is as perfect and white as a summer cloud. Playful illustrations complement this touching banter, which culminates in a trip to the dance where Grandmother tells Grandfather, "You are as pretty as the moon.""-- Provided by publisher.
