Young John is surprised and delighted when he learns the story behind his Noanie's special grandmother name, which inspires him to think about what other grandmothers are called. As John and his daddy consider many beautiful grandmother names from other cultures and regions, as well as sweet and unique family names, young readers and their reading partners are encouraged to join in with finding and sharing their own special grandmother name.

*Families can personalize their copy with a photograph and inscribed name of "YOUR" grandmother to make this a very special keepsake.
