Russell's Grandma by Mikael Bjorn



From the creator of Hugo the Sock Bandit comes Russell’s Grandma, a beautifully illustrated story about a nervous boy’s first night away from home at his grandmother’s house. Funny, warm, charming, and relatable, this story shows how Russell’s Grandma wins over her pirate-loving grandchild and builds a bond that will last a lifetime.

A sweet fun first time stay at granny’s house

Four Point Four Stars

Russel loves all things pirates and he enjoys playing it out. 

The illustrations were beautiful and captures Russell's anxiety as he had to visit his grandmother for the first time all by himself. 

The book then turns to a fun sweet read that depicts the bond between Russel and his grandmother. The first visit to the granny’s turns into a delightful time as it becomes a grand adventure. 

Enjoyable read for kids.
