Lola's NANA Comes to Visit

Lola is EXCITED! Her grandmother is coming to visit..

Nana-Bibi will stay in Lola's room, so Lola will sleep on a special blow-up bed.

The family spends the week doing different activities like shopping for presents for family back in Tanzania, having dance parties, and learning how to make Nana's special mandazi doughnuts.

Nana-Bibi and Lola share a special time as Nana-Bibi remembers all the things she used to do with her nana.

A multigenerational celebration of grandmas, moms, and grandaughters.

clever, layered images...
I love the use of meaningful kanga bunting too. Celebrating maternal bonds; sharing of cultural traditions. Truly stunning!

Lola will continue to delight the preschool crowd. In this title, her Nana-Bibi is coming to visit.
Small details are described in simple language: "Nana-Bibi and Mommy talk and talk. They have so much to say." Definitely a young child's observation. With simple text and colorful pictures, this will be a storytime hit.
