The Horrible Misses Granny

Content : Henry hates the first Sunday of the month.
On that day, it’s as if the whole house goes mad.
Mom gets all worked up,
Dad says, “It’ll be fine, don’t worry,” but Henry is worried because… he hates going to see the Horrible Misses Granny!

Henry calls her that because she’s ugly, she smells weird, and she’s kind of scary.
Basically, she has everything it takes to be a wicked witch…
At her place, Henry has to be polite — even when he gets boring presents — and eat Brussels sprouts or microwaved raclette…

The Horrible Granny Mémé has something mysterious about her…
For a long time, she only appears in parts: an eerie shadow here, just her hands or her back there… So, little readers imagine her in their own way. Until finally… she is revealed — terrifying and loud!

For Henry, it’s also a chance to rediscover his dad’s childhood bedroom
and to wonder:
Will I become a dad one day?
And will Mom be a sweet granny or a horrible one?

By the end of the book, the little family returns to the calm of their cozy home and their cheerful little menagerie. All the fear melts away in a warm, gentle cuddle…

A beautiful picture book full of emotions, with illustrations that play on contrast — between fear and laughter.
