For any child wanting to know or learn about hospitals, Where’s Grandma shows them all facets of these often scary (to children) places. Henry meets those who are ill, doctors, a surgeon, security and maintenance men, all told in the natural process of him looking for his Grandma. With longer text than usual for a picture book, small children might fidget, although the pictures are clear and telling a story themselves. Loved it

The characters are very well portrayed and the fabulous pictures could stand all on their own.
Publishers Weekly (US) –
A search for a boy’s grandmother in a large metropolitan hospital provides a startlingly honest look at the lives of sick people … It’s not the usual child enters- hospital comfort book; it’s more a child’s-eye view of the mystery of ill health itself.
Kirkus Reviews (US) –
The pictures tell the story in this beautifully, distinctively designed book.
