The Lines on Nana’s Face is a thoughtful picture book from Simona Ciraolo.

It celebrates Nanas in a most wonderful manner, as our little narrator has a lovely conversation with her own Nana. She learns so much when she asks her if she minds the lines on her face.

‘it is in these lines that I keep all my memories!’

As the little granddaughter points to each line, Nana shares a wonderful memory that accompanies each one – ‘best picnic I ever had,’ ‘the night I met your grandpa’ With each memory accompanied by a wordless double page spread the pace is slow and thoughtful, encouraging a celebration of all the experiences Nana has had.

In The Lines on Nana’s Face Simona Ciraolo celebrates the unique relationship between Nana and granddaughter in her gentle, thought provoking manner. Filled with charm and Ciraolo’s wonderfully warm illustrations, this is a gorgeous picture book.
