Reach for this book when your child is trying to understand a family member who feels a bit distant, formal, or even prickly. Great-Grandma Nell is not your typical cookie-baking grandmother: she is elegant, smells of Chanel No. 5, and insists on being called Great-Grandma Nell. Through a young girl's eyes, we see a relationship built on observation and respect rather than easy cuddles. It is a beautiful exploration of how love can look different across generations and how history shapes the way elders carry themselves. Best for children ages 4 to 8, this story validates the feeling that some relatives take time to know while celebrating the dignity and rich heritage of an older generation.
