Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An irresistible story about an unconventional grandmother.
Omi is one strange grandmother. She cuts her own hair and wears green rubber boots held together with duct tape. Stranger still, she lives on a sailboat instead of in a house and has collected bugs from every continent.
Mom doesn't understand that while it's fun playing games with Omi at home, it's asking a lot to take her to Grandparents' Day at school.
It's Omi's turn to do a presentation, and it's a sure bet she's going to do something embarrassing. But hold on a moment. Everyone has fallen silent as she speaks. She's showing them her snake bite and the kids are shrieking with excitement. Now they're asking questions. Omi is a hit!
Grandparents' Day is an enchanting story about a weird individual who shows that some people should never change. The irrepressible energy of the story is matched by lively and spirited artwork.
For children ages 5-8.
