Grandma Yogini

This talented grandma is full of surprises!

Grandma Yogini is a new children’s picture book by Raven Howell and illustrated by Alexander Santos and would be a perfect story for grandma to share with her young grandchildren. Visits from your grandmother are always a special time, but Meredith and Henry’s grandma is extra special and full of surprises! 

While their friends’ grandmothers all have their specialties, for example, Anthony’s grandmother bakes cookies, Henry and Meredith’s grandmother is unlike all the others. Even though she’s white-haired, the older woman surprises the kids right from the start by arriving on her bright red motorbike. Grandma is lively and vibrant, her personality brought to life by the vivid drawings of Alexander Santos. Grandma delights her grandchildren and their friends with enthusiastic attention and by introducing them to her practice of yoga. Grandma is a yogini, another name for a yogi or practitioner of yoga. She engages their imaginations with some simple yoga poses that mimic creatures familiar to the children, such as a butterfly, cat, and even a kangaroo. 

With its clean, clear illustrations and engaging story, I recommend GRANDMA YOGINI to young-at-heart grandmothers for sharing with their young grandchildren.
