About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the unique, joyful bond between a child and their grandmother. It is an ideal choice for families looking to reinforce the idea that 'adventure' doesn't require a plane ticket or a grand plan: it can be found in a simple trip to the park or a walk around the neighborhood with a loved one. The story follows the delightful outings of a young girl and her grandmother, Sugamama. Through their shared activities, the book emphasizes themes of presence, gratitude, and the beauty of intergenerational relationships. It is a gentle, comforting read for children aged 3 to 6, providing positive representation of a Black family while focusing on the universal joy of feeling seen and cherished by a grandparent.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and grounded in contemporary realism. There are no heavy themes such as death or illness; instead, it focuses on the positive aspects of kinship and aging.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler who spends a lot of time with a grandparent or a child who may be experiencing 'separation anxiety' from a primary caregiver and needs to be reminded of the fun and safety found with other family members.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. It serves as an excellent 'bridge' book for children who are beginning to recognize letters and words, given its simple vocabulary. A parent might choose this after hearing their child ask, 'When is Grandma coming over?' or noticing the child struggling to find excitement in their daily routine.
