My Grandma and Me
My Grandma and Me | Mina Javaherbin
2 posts | 1 read
In a true tale of a young girl in Iran and her grandmother, this beautiful ode to family celebrates small moments of love that become lifelong memories. In this big universe full of many moons, I have traveled and seen many wonders, but I have never loved anything or anyone the way I love my grandma. While Mina is growing up in Iran, the center of her world is her grandmother. Whether visiting friends next door, going to the mosque for midnight prayers during Ramadan, or taking an imaginary trip around the planets, Mina and her grandma are never far apart. At once deeply personal and utterly universal, Mina Javaherbin's words make up a love letter of the rarest sort: the kind that shares a bit of its warmth with every reader. Soft, colorful, and full of intricate patterns, Lindsey Yankey's illustrations feel like a personal invitation into the coziest home, and the adoration between Mina and her grandma is evident on every page.

This picture book is gorgeously illustrated. It's a sweet true story about a little Iranian girl fondly talking about all the activities she does with her grandmother, from cooking to praying. There is a sweet, intimate moment between them when her grandmother prostrates herself on her prayer rug and the granddaughter lays on her grandmother's back. It's these quiet family moments that make this a wonderful story to share with your own family.
