**STARRED REVIEW** "Why does it ever have to end? The details in the illustrations will have children poring over the pages, where the clues to good times past and present add up to a generous look at the special bonds of an extended family." --School Library Journal "Becker and Yaccarino show how Grandma and grandchild keep in touch while apart, and then a culminating scene shows them reuniting for another visit... There's lots to love here indeed."--Kirkus Reviews "Grandma's chic house is a thoroughly imagined home-away-from-home... The duo's intergenerational affection is portrayed as effortless, effusive, and unconditional. A wonderful celebration of reunions that's especially meaningful after the pandemic's long drought."--Publishers Weekly
