Opening Lines of the Book…
Everything is ready,
there’s nothing left to do.
Grandma says, to fill the time,
let’s sit and
knit and
wait.

MY THOUGHTS…

This is a lovely book about a grandma and her oh-so-impatient grandson as they wait, wait, wait! They sit and knit (or at least Gran knits!) and stretch and rock. And wait. I had my suspicions about what they’re waiting for (and I was right), but when the moment came it was done in such a beautiful way that I was deeply moved! Such a lovely picture book!

I also found the art to be quite appealing. I love how both Gran and the boy have glasses!
