Book excerpt: Nana's a Ninja lets the reader "listen in" on a discussion that takes place among four siblings as they get ready for bed. They're going to spend the day with Nana and those days are always fun. As they wonder about tomorrow's activities they try to figure out some of the jobs that Nana has held over the years. Did she really lead board meetings with 2x4s in attendance? Maybe... The English language can be difficult to understand. We use phrases that have become part of our day-to-day vernacular, but they might not make sense to one who is learning. Homophones, idioms, context, etc...all play into how words are conveyed by the speaker and processed by the one hearing. This book takes a look at a group of siblings that are trying to decipher what they've heard. More than just the cute story and fun with idioms; the book was created with purposeful interaction in mind. Too often grandkids will only get a surface-level understanding of who their grandparents are. The book includes a few pages of questions to get below that level. Papa isn't just the man you see now. Find out who he was throughout the years with some, "When you were my age..." questions. Sadly, once they're gone, they take that information with them. Are the questions all encompassing? No, but it gets the ball rolling. Fill out the questions ahead of time or while talking face-to-face. So, is your Nana a ninja? Maybe... Share a smile and get to know your loved ones a little better.
