Type: picture book
Ages: 4-8
Author: Joy Cowley

The grandmother’s solutions and thoughts on problem-solving are highly adaptable to any problem. The book teaches a good lesson while also telling an effective story.
And, like the girl was distracted by her grandmother’s tortilla making, I am now distracted by thoughts of Navajo fry bread, which, in my mind, must taste somewhat similar. Yum!
