Lauren Castillo's Nana in the City

Nana in the City is a beautiful story of bravery and triumph. A boy comes to the city to visit his Nana but finds it a bustling, busy, and frightening place. He decides it’s no place for a nana to live, but she knows just what to do to change his mind about her new home. This unit contains activities such as creating a watercolor illustration, listening to city sounds, and making a weaving with red yarn.
