Description

Maia is an impatient little scamp. When something pops into her head, she wants it. Now! Right this minute! Her grandma's just the same and they get along like a house on fire. One day Grandma falls ill and loses her control over words. The grown-ups don't seem to understand her, but Maia never loses sight of her strong, wonderful grandma and knows exactly what she means. A heart-warming masterpiece of a picture book.
