Nice and Tight

You be saucer,

I’ll be cup,

piggyback, piggyback,

pick me up

You be tree,

I’ll be pears,

carry me, carry me

up the stairs.

You be Good,

I’ll be Night,

tuck me in, tuck me in

nice and tight.

From the pen of world-renowned poet, author, and nana, Jane Yolen, come nineteen poems about grandmothers from around the world.

This sweet collection features nanas who dream and those that sing crying babies to sleep; nanas who hold hands crossing the street and some who learn hopscotch; nanas who color with you and some who go to zoos; and other nanas spending precious time with their precious little ones.

From Spanish to Japanese, Swahilli to Yiddish, Scottish to Vietnamese, one thing is clear – No matter what language you say it in…”grandma” means “love.”

Excerpt

When Nana Jane Sleeps

Sometimes she snores.

Sometimes she whistles.

Sometimes she is so quiet,

I tiptoe into her room

to make sure she is all right.

She always is.
