Love, Grandma by Ann Morris is a heart-warming book dedicated to her two granddaughters, Haley and Payton. In this book, Ann lovingly recounts her cherished memories with her grandchildren, such as stories about their overnight stays and memories of the three of them making crafts using her collection of buttons. All the stories told in this book displays Ann’s immeasurable love for her two grandchildren.

Illustrated by David Gnass, every page of this book is filled with warm pictures depicting their activities together. These wonderful illustrations were my most favorite aspect of the book. From beginning to end, readers of Love, Grandma are sure to be filled with a sense of warmth and maybe even nostalgia.

While I enjoyed reading this book, it seemed more like a memoir rather than a children’s book. Ann writes about her time with her grandchildren, a lot of which readers may not relate to. Other than learning to spend more time with loved ones, I found it difficult to think of lessons that can be picked up from this book. Additionally, I would have appreciated the book better if the words were bigger to make it easier to read.

Nonetheless, I would have to give Love, Grandma a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. The book is well edited, as I did not find any errors. While reading this book, I found myself wishing that I had a close relationship with my grandmother, much like Ann had with her grandchildren.

Lighthearted and sweet, this book is only 20 pages long, making it readers looking for a quick read. I would recommend this to those who wish to reminisce about their time with their own loved ones. Since the words used in this book are simple, children between the ages of four and eight will have no problem understanding its contents.
