Back Cover: I love my grandma. Really, I do. But she always embarrasses me.
See what I mean? Whenever anyone asks her why she does such brazy things, she just says “Because”…
I think Grandma has a secret. But what could it be?
Mine: Who knew that a ballet master could write a book too?
What a fun and delightful book and colorfully illustrated. Grandma does do some crazy things – just because. But no one knows why. She jumps and twirls in the middle of the park. What could she be doing?
Why dancing of course.
