My Grandma - Grace McKee - Bog

This book with colorful illustrations is intended for young children, be they toddlers or able to read for themselves. It is the first in a series aimed at educating children about life in other countries, focusing on animals and flora. The pictures are realistic paintings done by the author, some in oils and others in watercolours, following her travels to interesting places in the world. The idea arose from the fact that the author lives in France and her grandchildren live in England. She wanted the children to realize that life can be quite different in other countries and that their food, flora and fauna can be exotic.
