Introduction:
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.
