"Grandma, What’s That?" is a heartwarming and educational story that transported me and my daughter straight to the colourful hills of Nine Mile, Jamaica. From the very first page, we were captivated by the gentle bond between grandparent and child and the rich cultural nuggets sprinkled throughout.
This book does something truly special: it teaches children to appreciate nature, family, and heritage in a way that feels organic and joyful. The language is simple and engaging, perfect for early readers, and the illustrations are colourful and warm, drawing young readers into every scene.
As a parent, I loved how it sparked questions from my daughter like, “Where is Jamaica?” and “Can we grow our own food too?” It’s the kind of book that opens doors to meaningful conversations while also making bedtime feel like a mini adventure.
If you're looking for a diverse, culturally rich children’s book that celebrates learning through curiosity, this one is a gem. It would make a fantastic gift for families, classrooms, or libraries that want to introduce children to new places and perspectives with love, wisdom, and a touch of island sunshine.
Highly recommended this book!
Good quality. Quickly received. A brilliant book to encourage questions and thereby reinforce our Jamaican heritage. Seeing my granddaughter, and my daughter, throughly enjoying this book brings me such pleasure.
