Grandpa Is Here! -- Tanya Rosie - Hardcover
When a child's beloved grandfather comes from Iran for a visit, she can't wait to show him all her favorite things in this story full of warmth and tender detail. We speak different languages, Grandpa and I,
but how we laugh and laugh and laugh. Grandpa is finally here to visit! He's brought a suitcase smelling of Persian spices, walnuts picked from his trees at home, and sparkly saffron to make yellow rice. And Grandpa and granddaughter have so much they want to see and do together. She shows him all her favorite things: the mountaintops, the tunnel she discovered, and the horse in the field. If only Grandpa could stay longer, then he could see the spring--but when time together is limited, it feels all the sweeter and more special. In a touching follow-up to Mum, Me, and the Mulberry Tree, Tanya Rosie and Chuck Groenink deliver a tenderly told and beautifully illustrated picture book about the magical bonds between families, even those spread out across the world.

About the Author
Tanya Rosie studied English literature in Canada and England and now works in children's publishing. Mum, Me, and the Mulberry Tree, illustrated by Chuck Groenink, was her debut picture book. She grew up near London in a household filled with Iranian traditions (from her mum) and a few Scottish ones, too (from her dad). In all her writing, she likes to capture something of the way it was being a child. Tanya Rosie now lives in St. Albans, England. Find her on Twitter @tanya_rosie.
