Description
A heartwarming children's rhyming book full of adventure, positivity, and an amazing relationship between a grandma and grandchild! Perfect for bedtime reading and for early learners looking for adventure!
“Grandma, grandma
Brave and tall,
Tell me a story
Of when you were small…”
It’s nighttime.
A little girl lies tucked up safely in bed, but grandma is there and she's too excited to go to sleep just yet! Can she persuade her beloved grandmother to tell her a bedtime story? Not any old story, but a tale of when grandma was a little girl too!
A wonderful tale that starts with grandma as a small child in Jamaica before she makes a long journey over the ocean... but this is only the beginning, and the little girl hears far more stories than she ever thought possible.
Inspired by true stories from the author’s family, Grandma, Grandma, Brave and Tall is a beautiful storybook that celebrates everyday resilience, overcoming adversity and the power that can be found in intergenerational family bonds.
This wonderful book is packed with:
Beautiful rhyming text that adds joy and rhythm to the story
Diverse characters which help children feel they have a valid place in the world
Sensitive portrayals of real historical events which show triumph over adversity
Children will love the joyful rhyming prose and beautiful vibrant illustrations of Caribbean life, in this wonderful tribute to the abiding love between grandmother and grandchild from one generation to another.
Fall in love with this beautiful story!

This is a lovely story about family history and connections. A little girl asks her grandmother to tell her a story. The grandmother complies and stories told in rhyme ensue; they show the life experiences of the different grandmothers in a charming way. The illustrations are just perfect; at times they are bright and colorful but, in one, when there is a storm, the illustration is appropriately dark.
This is a wonderful book to share with a young child. Hopefully it will inspire the adult to share some stories of their own.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bright Thoughts Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.

I thought this was a really sweet story! My daughter loved it because she has a very close relationship with my mom! I loved the vivd details and illustrations! There were a few stops my daughter got very worried at but overall I think it was age appropriate and a definite favorite! Thanks Netgalley for sharing this with me! This is an unbiased review.
