    About The Greatest

    In this poignant tribute to grandparents everywhere, a grandfather reflects on his loving relationship with his three grandchildren. This story beautifully captures how love can make anyone “the greatest” in someone’s eyes.

    A NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

    From Newbery Honor author Veera Hiranandani and National Book Award finalist Vesper Stamper comes a poignant story about the love between grandparents and grandchildren.

    Grandpa loves Sundays– that’s when his three grandchildren come to visit. They act out plays, catch fireflies in the yard, and celebrate Jewish holidays together. His grandchildren bestow affection and admiration on him. Sometimes, though, he wonders why they think he’s so great? Should he tell them that he’s just an average, ordinary man?

    Here is a book that wonderfully captures how simple, everyday moments can turn into treasured memories, and how the power of love makes us all the “greatest” to somebody.
