In this third book of related titles, our protagonist must face one more hurdle in accepting his Nana’s new “family.” Nana’s new husband Bob has a grandaughter named Hortense. They were friends last summer – but over the winter she’s changed and the tentative friendship they shared seems a thing of the past. At the cottage again for a summer holiday, the protagonist is horrified to discover that Hortense is no longer likely to enjoy climbling trees and running around. She’s grown tall, wears skirts, and pins pictures of rock stars on her wall. Nana has deemed it “inappropriate” for them to share a room. All seems lost, until the two manage to find something to work towards together: a surprise birthday party for Nana. This charming picture book holds a valuable lesson about getting along by finding common ground.

Praise for Nana’s Getting Married:“…brassy chalk-pastel illustrations feature caricatures with comedic particulars…this message about open-mindedness and acceptance hits its mark.”— Publishers Weekly “…such a refreshing, contemporary take on an issue that lots of children have to learn to deal with: sharing the attention of an adult they love. And you don’t have to be a kid to appreciate Georgia Graham’s fun illustrations.”—Canadian Living
