A very funny and endearing loose-tooth vacation story, told entirely in video calls from a child to his grandmother.

Grandma (aka Mimi) is used to getting video calls from her grandson at all hours, and so she is able to enjoy all the events of his vacation along with him: the swimming pool and beach, the zoo, the donut shop, and even the airport. Best of all, she gets to see his loose tooth get wobblier and wobblier, and to reassure him when he worries that the tooth fairy won't know how to find him.

Packed with laughs and authenticity, this story of family love and childhood exuberance is a silly and sweet read-aloud with a joyous finale.


Susan Straub, coauthor of Gaga Mistake Day (with her daughter, Emma Straub), knows the power of picture books and grandmas. She lives in Brooklyn, wonderfully near her two grandchildren, and her Read to Me Program, which is focused on getting books into the lives of young families, provided insights and material for a coauthored Reading with Babies, Toddlers & Twos.


Anait Semirdzhyan is the illustrator of Just Us by Molly Beth Griffin, Bábo: A Tale of Armenian Rug-Washing Day by Astrid Kamalyan, The Great Banned-Books Bake Sale by Aya Khalil, and many other acclaimed books for children. Born in Kazakhstan and raised in Armenia, she now lives in the Seattle area with her husband and twin daughters.
