My Grandma's Photos

Ali's grandma can't hear or see very well these days, and she doesn't remember very much anymore. But Ali likes hanging out with her. So when Ali's mom takes out a wooden trunk full of Grandma's old photos, he sits with his grandmother, trying to figure out who is in all the old pictures. At first, his grandma doesn't seem to remember. But with a little help from Ali, she is soon sailing through the photos--and taking Ali along with her through the wondrous journey of her life.

With daring, joy, and love, Ali's grandma shows him the importance of making and sharing beautiful memories that will live on in the ones we love. First published in Turkey, this endearing picture book is a joyous celebration of life, family, and love.
