This honest and touching evocation of aging between a young girl and her elderly grandmother is not without humor and power. The answers to the question, “How does it feel to be old” are depicted page by page (“Quite bold!” “Free” “Clever” “Amazing” “Quite late”) with wonderful detailed line illustrations by the inimitable Trina Start Hyman. Drawn almost exclusively in black and white, the addition of occasional sepia tones creates a depth and sense of memory and the past. Beautifully realized and in Fine condition in dj. A previous owner’s brief inscription is lightly written on the front free endpaper.
