What If My Nana Was a Banana?
“What if My Nana Was a Banana?” will inspire kids to be creative writers and empower them to be storytellers, no matter how outlandish or silly their ideas are. The story is about a kid who innocently wonders what would happen if Nana turned out to be a banana, and results in the pair of them fighting crime, becoming fashion stars, and bringing peace to the galaxy.
Author David Keyes brings humor, fun, and creativity to the simple act of writing down one’s silly questions and letting ideas take flight. Illustrator Lauren Lowen brings the magic of the child’s imagination to life with playful, quirky, and colorful illustrations and characters.
Hardcover: $24.99 plus tax
