In this adorable, energetic ode to visits from grandma, beloved picture book creator Vanessa Brantley Newton shows how an ordinary day can become extraordinary.

There is just something magical about a grandmother's handbag and Vanessa Brantley-Newton delightfully explores that magic in Grandma's Purse. Vivid colorful illustrations share the story of a little girl and her Grandma "Mimi" exploring the contents of her purse. From candy to hairpins the tale made Princess Sophia smile. I loved how it captured the bond between grandchild and grandmother while they sorted and played. Since acquiring the book, we have read it several times and I love that the illustrations help Sophia read the book to me. Of course, she asked Nonna to buy her a purse just like the one in the book. She knows exactly what she will put in it.
