Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard.
Illustrated by
Gunilla Kvarnstrom.
After an initial bout of Grandpa-loves-you-more jealousy when his younger cousin Linnea arrives, Jacob enlists her to help him play matchmaker for their grandfather, so he won't be lonely between his grandchildren's visits. The charmingly offbeat Swedish story finds expression in easygoing illustrations that showcase the characters' affection for one another.
