Bookroo's summary

A young boy learns that art can be beautiful, funny, or tell a story, just like his grandmother. Inspired by this revelation, he sets out to create a masterpiece that captures her essence. When his teacher suggests anything can be art, he offers his grandmother as an exhibit. Faced with a rule against it, he finds a creative solution, celebrating the bond between grandparent and child through the power of art.

From the publisher

When a young boy learns about what makes art special—sometimes it’s beautiful, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it tells a story—he realizes that these same characteristics are what make his grandmother special, too. As a result, he finds the inspiration to create his own masterpiece that’s one of a kind. Christopher Award–winning author Scott Menchin and New York Times bestselling illustrator Harry Bliss have teamed up for a celebration of the power of art and expression, and the extraordinary love between grandparent and child.
