Lola looks forward to her grandmother's visit. When Nana-Bibi arrives, Lola gives up her bed to her grandmother and sleeps on a cozy, inflatable bed in the corner. Nana-Bibi gives presents to Mommy, Daddy, Lola, and her little brother. The next day, Nana watches her buy gifts for the folks back home and makes mandazi, a donut-like African fried bread. Sitting in a line, Nana-Bibi braids Mama's hair while Mama braids Lola's and Lola braids her doll's. After dinner, they put on music and the whole family dances. Before bedtime, Nana-Bibi talks about helping her nana with gardening and tells Lola that they will plant seeds tomorrow. For Lola, every day spent with her grandmother is quite special. Writing in short, well-phrased sentences, McQuinn conveys the affection that makes even the simplest activities the two share more enjoyable. From the endearing cover art onward, Beardshaw's illustrations use simple, rounded forms and rich, warm colors, reflecting the gentle tone of the text. This eighth book in the Lola series quietly celebrates the affection between grandparent and child.

In the latest Lola Reads book, Lola welcomes a special visitor—her grandmother Nana-Bibi—now in paperback!

Lola's grandmother is coming to visit, and Lola can't wait for all the family fun. Nana-Bibi will stay in Lola's room, so Lola gets to sleep on a special blow-up bed. The family spends the week doing different activities, like shopping for presents for family back in Tanzania, having dance parties, and making special mandazi doughnuts. Nana-Bibi and Lola share a special time as Nana-Bibi remembers all the things she used to do with her nana.

This multigenerational celebration of grandmas, moms, and grandaughters will reassure all children preparing for a visit from a faraway relative.
