She is a gymnast, an aircraft pilot, a secret agent, and a professional clown. But above all, he adores her because she is “his” grandma and no one else’s. The large illustrations go hand-in-hand with the endearing text to create a book that depicts the ideal twenty- first-century grandma. The narrator’s mom can bake cakes as tall as rocket ships and make the nightime monsters disappear in a heartbeat. Butterflies come out to hear her sing and the sun shines bright when mommy wears her favorite dress. But the most magical moment of all happens when she tells her daughter how much she loves her! Norac’s beautiful story celebrates that unique bond between mother and child. 2006 HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR All Prince Peter wants for his birthday is a fluffy teddy bear.
