The Truth About Grandparents (2019), written and illustrated by Elina Ellis, follows a child’s playful narration about what people “say” about grandparents - that they’re slow, clumsy, scared of new things, and don’t dance. However, as the story unfolds, the illustrations show a very different reality: his grandparents go on roller-coaster rides, practice yoga, use technology, dance, play in a jazz band, and even share a loving kiss. Through these contrasting words and pictures, the book gently reveals how fun, active, and full of life his grandparents really are.
