Grandfather's Wrinkles

Length4m

About this audiobook

In a conversation with his toddler granddaughter Lucy, Grandfather explains the origin of each of the " crinkles" on his " crunchy" face: " Every time I smiled an extra big smile, I got a wrinkle to show for it." Grandfather' s memories of these happy events — his wedding day, when his daughter (Lucy' s mother) was born, his daughter' s wedding day, and more — are shown in full-spread illustrations, alternating with close-ups of Lucy on Grandfather' s lap. Her pudgy fingers softly tracing each crease intriguingly contrast with the lined old skin on his face. Grandfather' s newest wrinkles, of course, were acquired when he smiled so hugely on the day that Lucy was born. After hearing this sweet, simple story, children will be delighted to use Lucy' s method to learn more about their own grandparents' memories, and adults will view their wrinkles in a fresh new light.
