When Rhondy can't seem to cheer Grandmama up with a song, a dance, or a gift from the backyard, she tries the one thing she's sure will work. Rhondy reminds Grandmama what she said about her when they first came to live together: "That's my joy, that's Grandmama's joy. Long as I got my joy, I'll be all right." "As sometimes happens, the child is more resourceful than the adult.This is the portrait of a relationship, revealed less as a story than as the unfolding of love." — Booklist "A sensitive story that shows the loving relationship between Grandmama and Rhondy." — School Library Journal

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Grandmama's Joy (Paperback)
This book was a little interesting, but I thought it was actually pretty boring. I know that I'm a little out of the age group, but my sister liked it a lot. She loved Rhondy, and how she was trying to cheer grandmama up.*** But in the end, all turns out well, which is why I thought the book was so boring.(***My sister whines all the time, and thats why she tries to cheer my mom up. But, honestly, how can a person be cheerful if a little girl is whining all the time?)
