A very sweet and quirky inter-generational friendship story. As someone who was particularly close with my Grandma as a girl, this hit the spot!

Maud and Grand-Maud is a lovely book about a relationship between a Grandmother and Granddaughter.

This book is just so sweet. It's familial ties and bonding in it makes my heart sing. It's honestly one of the greatest little picture books I've picked up lately. It's so sweet and wholesome! I highly recommend it if you want a sweet, little read to sink into with your little ones. It also has beautiful yet soft illustrations that really tie the story together.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tundra Books for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Okay, I love everything about this book. Will it exactly suit every child's situation? No. As a child, I wouldn't have related to the story; I wasn't named after anyone, and my grandparents lived too far away for frequent visits. I would have enjoyed the story, though, because it's sweet, and while I might not have been able to put my finger on it, there's a lot of mutual respect between Maud and Grand-Maud- there's nothing better than an adult who takes you seriously and doesn't talk down to you when you're a kid. Any children's story with family involved won't perfectly suit every child's situation, and that's okay. This is a lovely story where a child gets to feel special and spends time with someone who loves them. It's about the little rituals that make special times special. It's about listening to each other's stories. That's beautiful.
Also beautiful are the illustrations, filled with warm, cozy color, sweet details, and a mixed-race family (Maud presents Asian, Grand-Maud presents white, Maud's imagined future children are a mix of the these). I especially loved the wordless spread featuring a possible future story about a cat (Maud wants to be an author when she grows up). This book gave me the warm happy feels, that makes it a winner in my opinion!

This is a delightful story about a granddaughter visiting her grandmother. She talks about the special rituals they have during their visit and how she learns about her grandmother and vice versa. The illustrations are gentle and add to the comforting ambiance of the story. A joy to read!

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from Sara O’Leary and Penguin Random House Canada through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a sweet story about the special bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter and how small things become special memories. This would make a great gift for a grandmother to give to her new granddaughter.

4,5/5. A cute story with stunning artwork about a girl and her grand-mother. The book is all about family, and how grand-parents can bring something to their grand-children, their experience, their memories, their skill. Truly a beautiful message in this book. I like it!

Picture Book. This is a book about the relationship with a girl and her grandmother, who are both named Maud. They have a special connection and get to see each other one-on-one every Saturday. While not every grandchild gets undivided attention from their grandparents, I do have fond memories of sleepovers by myself at my grandmother's house. Just like Maud, I got special food and special TV. I love that Grand-Maud also shares pieces of her own childhood through memories and mementos. It's a soft, calm book with the color palette to match. Very sweet, not a lot of action, but a touching story.
