Description

Joys Grandmama lives in an old house, on an old street, with old trees and all kinds of old things. And Joy already knows . . . theres no fun in that!

When young Joy goes to spend the day with Grandmama, she struggles to find beauty in all the old things at Grandmamas house. None of it looks or smells quite the same as it does at home. But as the day passes, Grandmama patiently helps Joy discover how the old ways can bring joy to any heart. Whether its the swaying of stately trees, bubbles dancing in a sink filled with dishes, the sweet scents of a lovingly tended garden, or the memories found in a room packed with hats if Joy opens her heart and mind, there is beauty to be found everywhere at Grandmamas house.

Gorgeous, richly detailed illustrations capture the movement of Joys feelings of boredom and doubt to awe and appreciation for her Grandmamas attitude and way of life. Debut author-illustrator Anita Crawford Clark celebrates her African American lived experience and family heritage in this intergenerational story that is certain to encourage a healthy-aging mindset among readers of all ages and add a spark of joy to any home, classroom, or library setting. A perfect gift for grandparents and grandchildren alike!
