Every Wrinkle has a Story

David Grossman, Ninamasina(Illustrator)

A poignant and beautiful picture book celebrating the love between a grandfather and his grandchild, from Man Booker Award-winning author David Grossman.
In this touching story, a little boy who likes to draw asks his beloved grandfather about his wrinkles: when and how did he get them? Grandpa explains that every one of his wrinkles has a story, some are happy and some are sad - and each story he tells becomes an illustrated journey through his life.
Every Wrinkle has a Story encourages young children to ask questions about wrinkles, with a beautifully told and illustrated multigenerational tale.

Reviews

"Grossman’s text, translated from the Hebrew by Jessica Cohen, is gentle, straightforward and lovely. Ninamasina’s illustrations, full of inky washes, are lovely, too . . . young readers will appreciate a book that honors their concerns about the physicality of age. I wish I had had something like this when I was fascinated and frightened by the veins on my grandmother’s hands."
