"A family thinks its grandfather is the greatest in the world, but he insists that he is just a simple, ordinary man. Through Vesper Stamper’s vibrant illustrations, we watch as this ordinary grandfather captivates his grandchildren with stories, leads the Passover Seder and catches fireflies in the backyard. By the end, the book reveals a great truth: Our love transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. As Veera Hiranandani so beautifully puts it, “Maybe love is like a mirror and it’s reflected back and forth until it glows so bright, everything is surrounded by that light.” And there is nothing simple or ordinary about that. (For ages 4 to 8)"
