At last-a book for kids where Grandma is a superhero!
In this endearing children's adventure, Jackson is having a sleepover with his twin sister, Ruby, and his cousin Amara at their grandma's house when he hears a sound that scares him so much, he almost jumps out of his socks!
"Slither, slither, squish, squish."
Whatever it is, Grandma Gizmo will make sure that no harm comes to anybody.
Intelligent, creative, kind, and caring, Grandma Gizmo is a very talented inventor of special devices. She keeps most of them at the ready in her Gizmopack-except for the Razzle-Dazzle Translator Necklace, which she wears every day. It allows her to talk to any creature or person she meets-imagine that!
This twisty tale involves a family of unusually large worms that is pursued by a star-nosed mole made monstrous after eating a powerful growth potion. Aided by her good friend, Farmer Ferdy, and her three grandchildren, Gizmo Grandma uses her gizmos to help resolve the struggles of these hapless characters.
Enhanced by Becca Hillburn's delightful illustrations, Gizmo Grandma: A Twisty Tale is bound to be a favorite among readers and listeners alike, providing a fun, empathy-building learning experience.
About the Author: After many years of conjuring up entertaining stories to amuse her grandchildren, Lenore Salazar decided to write a story based on one of their favorites and become a first-time author. She worked on the book at The New York Public Library several mornings per week for over a year. When the manuscript of Gizmo Grandma: A Twisty Tale was complete, Becca Hillburn depicted what Lenore's imagination had created. Becca has drawn wonderful and heartwarming illustrations, more than forty of them, to enhance the experience for readers of all ages.
