My Grandma's Photos cover

Ali’s grandma can’t hear or see very well these days, and she doesn’t remember very much anymore. But Ali likes hanging out with her. So when Ali’s mom takes out a wooden trunk full of Grandma’s old photos, he sits with his grandmother, trying to figure out who is in all the old pictures. At first, his grandma doesn’t seem to remember. But with a little help from Ali, she is soon sailing through the photos—and taking Ali along with her through the wondrous journey of her life. With daring, joy, and love, Ali’s grandma shows him the importance of making and sharing beautiful memories that will live on in the ones we love. First published in Turkey, this endearing picture book is a joyous celebration of life, family, and love.

“A gentle book about remembering, as well as grieving, a life well lived.” —Kirkus Reviews “This depiction of a tender, loving relationship is touched with magic, and Ali’s participation in his grandmother’s experiences brings them both much joy.” —Booklist “[A] beautiful, heartfelt story about loss and love…The scenes capture the equally aching and bittersweet emotions of remembering the past and holding onto love, even as one says goodbye…This story will touch readers who know bittersweet experiences with loss and love, and will be at home in every collection.” —School Library Journal
