Grandma upstairs and Grandma downstairs

Tomi loves to visit her grandparents' house on Sundays. While the grandmother prepares a delicious cake in the kitchen downstairs, the great-grandmother rests in the upstairs room and tells her old stories about elves. One morning, Tomi's mother gives her some bad news: the grandmother upstairs died last night. This tender and emotional autobiographical story brings children closer to fundamental issues: family roots, affections, the passage of time, old age, the loss of loved ones and how to overcome this situation or the importance of memory and memories. Already considered a contemporary classic, its softly colored illustrations reinforce the intimate atmosphere of the story. Author: dePaola, Tomie | Illustrator: dePaola, Tomie
