In the summer before she becomes a big sister, Julia is sent to stay with her grandmother in a picturesque area outside of Mexico City. The area is full of new smells and tastes as Julia experiences the local foods and flora. The two establish an affectionate bond that is extended to the newborn brother who appears at the end of the book.

Something About Grandma is a cozy, calm love letter to the grandparent/grandchild relationship and to the importance of experiencing small moments with someone who loves and understands you. This would be a nice read aloud book, both at school and at home.
