Grandmother School

This brilliantly illustrated picture book tells the story of the Aajibaichi Shala, the Grandmother School, that was opened in Phangane, India, in 2016 to teach local grandmothers how to read and write. A child walks her grandmother to the Grandmother School, a school built for the grandmothers in her village to have a place to learn to read and write. Based on a true story about family, women and the power of education. When Aaji learns to spell her name for the first time, you’ll want to dance along with her.
