Jennifer Mook-Sang

Yong Ling Kang's gentle illustrations, executed in primarily pink, aqua, yellow and green watercolors, accompany Jennifer Mook-Sang's simple how-to "guide" for introducing a (recently widowed?) grandparent into an extended family's home. As the child-narrator helps to settle her grandmother into her new room (and life with the family), Kang and Mook-Sang harmoniously mirror the young child's "keeping" of her grandmother with the grandmother's care of her plants-- the one she brought and the many more she nurtures to life as she herself begins to grow in her own new space. For the most part, these subtle comparisons are consistently carried throughout the text, with the exception of one oddly written spread: "My grandma was discombobulated by changes to her routine. But I was patient./Eventually, we found plans that worked for everyone." This passage feels "off" from the rest of the text. Likewise, the final page seems to stop abruptly. Still, it was a breath of fresh air to read this sweet picture book, which is filled with hope (even in the event of grandma's sometimes being "a little wilted"). The narrator is always patient, always smiling. Grandma is equally gentle and kind. I am honored to review my copy as an early reviewer for LT and am pleased to add it to our library for future lending purposes.… (plus d'informations)

Do you sometimes have a grandma that you see that comes and stays with you and your family? You want to help her out by doing things or at least trying. Well, this book, The Care and Keeping of Grandmas is a sweet story about a granddaughter and her grandma when her grandma came to live with her and the family.

Though she is this in the prefer of her view and learning along the way. These are her tips throughout the book to help others and children. The pictures and story are done well.

I like the story; each person can change the person for themselves, even though this one is about a granddaughter and her grandma. You can picture a grandson helping out his grandma. Though this book. It shows that you need to allow time and let the person suggest, and they will ask for help rather than have it forced upon them.

Grandmas are something special to have, and I enjoy the grandma I have left. However, I loved both of my grandmas when I had them. This book shows that grandmas can do things, and some live in different places; we should still be around to help when needed.

This story shows the special bond a grandchild has with their grandma. However, the child learns when to lend a hand and when to let her do her own thing. But be there when you need to be there. This story shows the love and care bond between a grandchild and a grandmother. Suppose the grandma needs to move in and feel at home. This book tells that in a funny and fun way, a picture book. Have you heard of " How to Babysit a Grandma"? This book puts a little humor and a fun spin on it.
