When a house full of grandmothers tries to determine who is the "best" grandma, a hilarious hullabaloo ensues
When a mysterious yellow envelope arrives at Hollyhock House, it causes quite the hubbub. It's addressed simply to "the greatest grandmother in the world." The trouble is, there are a lot of grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and even a great-great-grandmother living at Hollyhock House. So who is the best grandmother?
Whether your grandma is a Bubby, a Bibi, an Abuela, a Nai Nai, or a Grammy, Grandmothers Galore! has something for everyone to enjoy: a zany tale full of mischief, mystery, and plenty of grandmotherly love.

      A house full of grandmothers work together to solve a mystery. A yellow envelope arrives at Hollyhock House addressed to "the greatest grandmother in the world." This sends its residents into a tizzy. While the house is full of grandmothers, none use that particular name. Abuela, Bibi, Nana, and the other grandmothers resort to trickery in order to claim the letter as their own. After the others catch Grammy trying to make off with the letter in the night, the grandmothers decide it is time to find the sender once and for all. They host a big birthday party for their families (in honor of "anyone who has a birthday this year"), and the house fills with music, food, and hugs. All the while, the yellow envelope sits on a table, waiting to be claimed. With their silly antics and fondness for cake, these grandmothers will make readers laugh and think of their own Bubbie or Nai Nai. Kheiriyeh's delightfully vibrant block-print and collage illustrations capture the chaotic joy of a house full of grandmothers, all resplendent in memorable outfits, from neon pink or lime green get-ups to feathered scarves. Grandmothers and their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren are diverse in skin tone, body shape, and physical ability; some grandmothers use canes, walkers, and wheelchairs. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A colorful, zany, and loving celebration of grandmothers. (Picture book. 4-8)
