- Synopsis
- My Grandma Likes to Say What visual comes to your mind when you hear, "Fly by the seat of your pants," or "A rolling stone gathers no moss," or "Throw caution to the wind"? My Grandma Likes to Say is a child's hilarious visual interpretation of the sayings that grandmas, nanas, gigias, omas, grannies, grandmamas, grand-mères, abuelas, or ya-yas sprinkle throughout their language. Idioms, maxims, proverbs, and clichés have been around for many years. While they can be confusing, especially to young ears, once understood they can be an excellent example of the power of language. Following the runaway success of My Momma Likes to Say and My Teacher Likes to Say, award-winning author Denise Brennan-Nelson is once again paired with award-winning illustrator Jane Monroe Donovan to bring you the fun and downright silliness of these expressions from a child's point of view.
