Daisy’s Yeh-Yeh is visiting from China, and try as she might, Daisy can’t get her grumpy grandpa to smile!

Daisy’s Yeh-Yeh is visiting for the first time from China, and Daisy is so excited to meet him! She has big plans for all the fun they’ll have together, like tea parties and snow angels, but when Yeh-Yeh arrives, Daisy finds him less jolly than she imagined. Throughout the week, she tries all sorts of things to get him past his grumpiness. Will she be able to make him smile before he goes home?

Kids will love this funny and heartwarming story about overcoming cultural differences and connecting across generations!

Praise for Grandpa Grumps:

“Yan’s cartoons have the look of modern animation; rendered in bright blended colors, they are sure to elicit giggles with their portrayals of Daisy’s failed attempts to engage her grandfather…Comical and heartwarming, this title should spark discussions of relationships and understanding.” — Kirkus

Author/Illustrator Bio

Katrina Moore writes and teaches in a part of New Jersey just outside Philadelphia. Earning an MA in elementary education, she's also taught in Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York. Her mission is to create books that children will hug for ages, like her debut picture book, One Hug. When not teaching elementary schoolkids or writing, she's cooking without a recipe, painting outside the lines, or snuggling up with her two kids, husband, Pomapoo pup, and of course, a cozy book.

Xindi Yan left behind a small city in China, traveling thousands of miles to New York to realize her dream of being a published artist. She received her BFA in illustration from Pratt Institute and has since worked as an illustrator for the gaming industry and for children's books, some of which include Sylvia Rose and the Cherry Tree by Sandy Shapiro Hurt, The Itty-Bitty Witch by Trisha Speed Shaskan, and the Craftily Ever After series by Martha Maker. She currently lives in Brooklyn with her husband and dreams about having a puppy in the near future. See more of her work at xindiyanart.com.
