GeneralDear Parents,
The grandmother in our story has a heavy hearing, and her jumbled responses to the words of her grandson make us smile. But she communicates with him and listens to him well, not with her ears but with her heart. The grandmother spoils her grandson by preparing his favorite juice, making up games to keep him entertained, worrying about him getting wet in the rain, and singing songs with him. When they embrace each other at the end of the story, it is as if they are whispering to us: we don’t only express our love and our concern for others with our words, but also with what we do for them.
