MY GRAMMIE'S HOUSE
Illustrated by Skye Ali
Published by Tundra Books
ISBN: 9781774880791

A sweet picture book about a kid welcoming new people into her grammie's old house.

"You're going to love my Grammie's house. You'll love every single thing about it."

A precocious and delightful little kid walks some potential buyers through her grammie's old house, pointing out all the great things about it: a shaggy rug for shuffling, a climbing tree, a shady closet that makes a great clubhouse, a perfect spot for eating cookies.

And with each new detail eagerly pointed out, we get to see hints of what the house was like when Grammie was still there and experience the love that lived in every single nook and cranny.

This is a charming and upbeat story that celebrates the connections we make between people and the spaces they inhabit, and the memories that can live on even when new connections are being made.

"A tender tale about a home and memories filled with love and warmth." — Kirkus Reviews

"My Grammie's House would be an indispensable addition to any child-focused library." — Quebec Library Association

"[T]he most personal house tour ever. Skye Ali's illustrations brilliantly depict what had been in place, now gone, with light pink sketches of plants and picture frames, lamps and furniture. Though Grammie no longer lives in this house . . . the connection of child and grandmother with place is almost tangible, palpable in the cookies that were eaten, the texture of the flooring, the warmth of the sun through a window, and the comfort of a climbing tree." — CanLit for Little Canadians

Inspired by the author's childhood memories of growing up in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, this nostalgic and beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates community, family, and the joy of playing outside.
