Filled with emotional memories, in "Vvó é poder" (Grandma is Power), award-winning author Fabricio Carpinejar tells the story of a girl and her grandmother. Whether it rains or shines, grandmother and granddaughter are together. With grandmother, you can make a mess, you can make popcorn. Grandmother can be a thread that connects you to the past or leads you to the future. That's grandma: all that power!
In this book, "Grandma is Power ," a shy but very smart and inquisitive girl recounts the wonderful relationship she has with her grandmother. One day, after completing a school assignment, the girl realizes that this special relationship isn't everyone's reality. Many elderly people are victims of abuse and don't receive much affection from their families.
But fun and affection abound in the pages of this book. Fabricio Carpinejar, author of Filhote de cruz-credo and Médico das Roupas , presents a grandmother who sees the world with more life, with more freedom, and is in love with her granddaughter. This grandmother doesn't knit, doesn't have gray hair, doesn't eat soup noisily; she practices karate, dances with her friends, and wears braces.
Throughout these pages, delicately illustrated by Anacardia, the girl discovers that age is just a number and that we can add or subtract to arrive at the true value. Filled with sensitivity, Grandma is Power is a book that makes us reflect on the importance of building a better society, respecting the elderly.
"My mother is always saying no! Mother is no. Grandma is yes. Mother is care. Grandma is courage. For mother, I'm always getting hurt. For grandma, I'm always succeeding. For mother, I'm always up to no good. For grandma, I'm always learning. Grandma is never on a diet with me either. Mother is always on a diet. It's as if mother can't do anything. Grandma can do everything. Grandma is power."
