My grandfather's grandfather and my grandmother's grandmother

Content : It all starts with this question: “Hey Grandpa, did you have a grandpa too?”
“Grandma and Mamie, did you have a grandma too?”

What follows are some fabulous portraits! A hammy grandfather who takes us back to prehistoric times and two grandmothers who paint a colourful picture of their ancestors (a bungee jumping champion and an intergalactic traveler).

My Grandpa's Grandpa AND My Grandma's Grandma, two best-sellers from L'Élan vert brought together in one bind-up! Le Pépé de mon pépé (Chronos Award 2011) takes us back in time through a gallery of colorful portraits (from a 20th-century human cannonball to a prehistoric hunter). Each period provides an opportunity for a mischievous grandfather to create an incredible situation.

In La Mémé de ma mémé, two grandmothers compete in imagination. A brioche grandmother against an asparagus grandmother, whose own grandmothers were adventurous (swimming across the English Channel, training to become an astronaut...) and committed (sabotaging ammunition during the war, inventing the miniskirt...).

The text and illustrations hold a surprise on every page, oscillating between tenderness and humor. The grandparents' imagination, the grandchildren's wide-eyed wonder, and the shared laughter are contagious.
