What If My Nana Was a Banana?

by David P. Keyes, Lauren Lowen (Illustrator), Christa Fletcher (Editor)

“What if My Nana Was a Banana?” will inspire kids to be creative writers and empower them to be storytellers, no matter how outlandish or silly their ideas are. The story is about a kid who innocently wonders what would happen if Nana turned out to be a banana, and results in the pair of them fighting crime, becoming fashion stars, and bringing peace to the galaxy.

Author David Keyes brings humor, fun, and creativity to the simple act of asking a silly question and letting ideas take flight. Illustrator Lauren Lowen brings the magic of the child’s imagination to life with playful, quirky, and colorful illustrations and characters.

[Grace Yang · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is our new favorite book in our household. Our five year old adores the wonderfully silly and creative story, the delightful rhymes, and the gorgeous artistry throughout this book. And we, the parents, adore the plot and concepts--so much, in fact, that this is one of the very few books that we genuinely love reading **on repeat**. We couldn't say enough nice things about What if My Nana Was a Banana, and we'll be gifting this beautiful book to our other friends with young kids!

"What If My Nana Was a Banana?" is a terrific book for kids ages 4-8. Young kids will love the silliness and the outrageous illustrations, and big kids will feel inspired by the adventure, fun words, and call to action to write their own unique stories. My daughters (ages 6 and 8) love the illustrations, and all of the cool characters. They like to spot their favorites throughout the book, like the giant baby space monkey on the back cover!
