Children spend time with their grandmothers in this debut picture book.
Using the refrain “If Grandma were here,” the story depicts three kids interacting with their two grandmothers. The children are shown with alternating women in various scenarios. They participate in activities such as visiting a museum, gardening, playing a game, building a sand castle, and more. An unnamed narrator reminds readers of Grandma’s caring nature, how she would “stretch her arms out wide to show how much she loves you.” Readers will infer that the grandmothers are no longer alive, as the narrator tells them that Grandma “is always here, inside you, right here in your heart.” Also included is a poem from Grandma to her grandchildren. She reminds them of her love and support, telling them to search for her in the sky and “give a wave and blow a kiss. Tell me all the things I’ve missed.” Bradbury’s sweet story evokes emotions that will be relatable to youngsters who have lost a loved one. Corbett’s illustrations are bright and cheerful, deftly mirroring happenings in the uplifting text. Most of the characters have brown eyes, dark skin, and dark hair. Several of the images offer dreamy elements, like a sparkling, starry sky backdrop. At the end, the pictures portray the grandmothers as angels in the sky while the children gaze out a window.
A charming and thoughtful tribute to beloved grandmothers.
