Maud loves the weekends when she stays at her grandma's house. There's always breakfast for supper, matching nightgowns, black-and-white movies, and--best of all--someone to listen to her dreams for her life as a grown-up. But what makes the visits extra special is what Grand-Maud has hidden in an old chest under Maud's bed. She may find a paint set, a toy, homemade cookies, or hand-knit mittens or sweaters. Best of all is when Maud finds something that belonged to Grand-Maud when she was a little girl. In this story of family togetherness, Maud wants to be just like Grand-Maud when she grows up.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Pak's illustrations . . . reflect the warmth and safety of Grand-Maud's home and <b>the tender intergenerational bond that is the very heart of this story</b>." --<i>The Horn Book, </i>starred review <p/>"<b>A quiet, understated gem</b> among intergenerational picture books." <i>--Booklist, </i> starred review <p/>O'Leary's measured narration reflects a relationship and a rapport that is not only unconditionally loving, but also <b>beautifully, profoundly respectful </b>on both sides." <i>--Publishers Weekly, </i>starred review <p/>"This cozy book is <b>as</b> <b>comforting as a warm quilt </b>and a cup of hot chocolate on a cold night." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"<b>A lovely story</b> of cross-generational ties." <i>--School Library Journal <p/></i>"This is<b> a sweet and snuggly read</b> about the power of generational relationships.<i> <i>--</i>BookRiot</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>SARA O'LEARY is a writer of fiction for both adults and children.
