What is The Truth about Old People about?
When you are small, everyone bigger than you can seem ancient. But are older people really boring, slow or quiet? Not at all! Meet a lively family whose grandparents dance, cook, explore and surprise everyone around them. Through bright, expressive illustrations and playful observations, this warm picture book celebrates the many things older people can do and the stories they carry. A funny, affectionate look at families, stereotypes and why age does not define how amazing someone can be.
