Nana in the City: A Caldecott Honor Award Winner

Picked this up for a friend of mine, who just became a new grandma for the first time! She wanted to be called Nana. So I went in search of some fun, sweet and well written children's books to gift to her for when she has Nana time! She absolutely LOVED this one!

My daughter in law seen this book in her school library. The little old lady reminded her of my late husband's doodle of me. So I had to have it. The story is very cute

This is a wonderful and sensitive book about a little boy visiting his Nana in the city. He is a little afraid of the city. He is from the country and is not used to the load and varied sights of the city. As first he just notices scary things. Then, as his Nana takes him around with a cape she has gotten him, he begins to see all the wonderful, colorful and delightful things in the city. The city really becomes a third character in the story. It clearly takes place in New York City and around Central Park. It captures the excitment of the city, the wonder of a young child and the wisdom of Nana.

My grandson lives in Virginia and comes to New York City to visit me is a story told for me! The illustration is simple and not overwhelming. One of my grandson's favorite books.

What a beautiful, colorful expose of a Nana that lives in the city!! The artwork is so meaningful in terms of a child that obviously lives in suburbia and visits his Nana in the City. The noise, hustle and activity is showcased to the mindset of a youngster that can realize the beauty of city life!! It is engaging and an important aspect of children seeing life in all dimensions. Love this book and so interested in buying others from this author!!

This was a gift for my 5 year old grandson and he loved it. The pictures are beautiful and the story held his interest. Seeing the city though the eyes of the little boy and his Nana was enchanting.

Since I am Nana to 6, going on 9 grandchildren, I bought this book to keep at my house for all the visiting little people that call me Nana. I don't live in a big city, but I love this book, its story and pictures. And so do my grandchildren all under 6. Thank you.

I bought this for my mom, a new "Nana"- I was looking for a book that referred to a grandma in this way. The story and illustrations are really cute. As my son has grown into a love of superheroes, it seems especially fitting that "Nana" gave him a special red cape in this story.

I wish this book was more specific about great things about New York to share

Loved it. Now the kids want nana to make them a cape 😍

Delightful book for my 3 year old Granddaughter. Good message about being brave and trying new adventures.Lovely colourful pictures. A nice gift from a Nana! She enjoys reading it with me.

Good book!

Perfect gift for any new Nana, or Nana to be!
