My Grandma's the Mayor: A story children about community spirit and pride
Summary Annie's grandmother used to be lots of fun, but things have changed. Now Grandma is the mayor, and she doesn't have much time to spend with Annie anymore. With Grandma suddenly very busy and important, Annie feels left out. But late one night, after a terrible fire breaks out in a neighborhood apartment building, Annie comes to feel proud of her capable, caring grandmother -- and of herself, too! Young readers will cheer for Annie as she discovers her own community spirit and the pride and pleasure that come from giving of oneself.
About the Author:
Marjorie White Pellegrino grew up in Tuckahoe, New York, in a home where everyone volunteered in the community. She knows that sometimes it's hard to share the ones you love with so many other people, but she also knows the good feeling you get when you help the place where you live become even better. Today she lives in Tucson, Arizona, with her husband and son.
About the Illustrator:
John Lund believes the best part about illustrating children's books is that each is a unique story, deserving its own special style. When he is not at his artist easel, he is traveling, studying other cultures, or enjoying the beauty of West Vancouver, Canada, where he makes his home with his son.
More Info Annie is unhappy that she has to share her grandmother, the mayor, with so many people, but when she helps out during a town emergency, Annie appreciates all that her grandmother does in the community.
