By LI Linhui

● The love and devotion between the generations gives warmth and security to children.
● Lively and cute cartoon style shows the reader the visit to Grandma’s house with bright colors.

At first, the little girl did not want to go to Mount Grandma, she had a lot of bad fantasies about it: Is it dirty and messy? Will she be welcomed at all? After she arrives, she realizes that it is so much fun. She has a wonderful time with her grandmother, picking watermelons, playing hide-and-seek, and tying pigtails together… Through contrasting illustrations, this book tells the emotional journey of a child’s visit to her grandmother’s house. The book depicts a warm childhood full of affection: the intimate contact with nature, the pampering by Grandma, and the joy of running freely in the countryside.
