Book Descriptions
for Our Granny by Margaret Wild and Julie Vivas
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
"Some grannies...baby-sit / drive trucks / fix the plumbing / go to college / travel / write books / work in an office / play in a band / or make sick people better. Our granny marches in demonstrations." Two children describe their own Granny's home life, physical appearance and activities in comparison to those of many other grannies in a fresh book that combines the comfort of things familiar with the surprise of the unexpected. Margaret Wild's warm, witty text and Julie Vivas' soft, vibrant watercolors showing grannies of all shapes, sizes and colors engaged in various activities combine to form a book that celebrates difference and love. (Ages 2-4)

From the Publisher
Two children compare their granny with others. Some grannies have thin legs, fat knees, crinkly eyes, or big soft laps. Their granny has a wobbly bottom and wears an old red sweater that was grandpa's. She has a style all her own--and to the children who love her, this granny is perfect. Full of warmth and good humor. Full color.
