A Pet for Grandma
My Filipino friend Ana gave me the idea for this book. After reading my chapter book Véro and Philippe, which is based on my childhood, she asked, 'Did you really have a pet snail when you were growing up in France? I had a pet beetle, like lots of kids in the Philippines.'
Book description
To cheer up his Filipino grandma, Ken gives her a pet beetle.
As a result, he discovers a part of her he never knew about: when she was a young girl in the Philippines, she loved keeping pet beetles too!
