Don't Call Me Grandma by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, Elizabeth Zunon
4.0
Vaunda Micheaux Nelson tells a wonderful little story here about a great-grandmother who is surly, tough, and a little bit glamorous. She depicts the relationship between grandmother and grandchild wonderfully, with the young girl in the story admiring and loving her great-grandmother despite being a little bit afraid of her. She also takes a look at Great-Grandmother Nell's history and the things that shaped who she became.
Elizabeth Zunon's illustrations are beautiful. I have never read any other picture books with her illustrations before, but this definitely has my attention. The watercolour flashback scenes are delightful in the best way.
Don't Call Me Grandma is funny, charming, complicated, and touching. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good picture book. I look forward to seeing more from both the author and the illustrator.
