This is a sweet book on a grandmother and her granddaughter, the grandma is reminding her granddaughter she is beautiful. I would use this book in kinder to 2nd grade. I would ask my students what makes them feel special.

This book centers around the bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter. Through her words and actions, the grandmother instills a sense of importance and love in her young grandchild, emphasizing the significance of family. "Grandma Calls Me Beautiful" serves as an excellent tool to encourage positive self-esteem among students and facilitate discussions about cultural diversity, promoting empathy and respect for differences in the classroom. Good ages for kinder- 3rd.
