Illustrated by
Vesper Stamper.
A gentle third-person text shares a grandfather’s thoughts about how the art he creates, the stories he tells, etc., for his grandchildren are nothing out of the ordinary—but readers will likely arrive before he does at the conclusion that even if he told the kids he was just average, “it probably wouldn’t matter.” They’d still see him as “the greatest grandfather in the world.” Richly hued watercolor-and-gouache illustrations are full of details about the family’s life, including, along with the text, welcome references to their Jewish identity.
