Summary:
An award-winning author and illustrator pay tribute to the universal art of storytelling
Nathaniel Hopkins is lucky enough to have a 100-year-old "Greatpaw" with a treasure trove of wonderful stories. During each visit, Greatpaws serves a feast of chicken salad sandwiches and lemonade to go with his storytelling. But when he tires of his own tales, Nathaniel must find a way to lift Greatpaw's spirits.
Like Greatpaw, Marsha Diane Arnold is a natural-born storyteller. Here she teams up with an award-winning artist in this perfect summertime read that shows how stories keep people connected.
