Publisher's Synopsis
Meet Paati, Thatha, Dida, Nani, Dadi, Dadu and so many more grandparents
of all kinds in this charming collection of stories by some of India's best
children's writers. What is a child to do if Nani decides to audition for a dance

or when Dadu decides to deal with an unhappy ghost in the neighbourhood?

recounts an exciting and unusual train journey with her beloved Dida. Ashok
Banker and Jerry Pinto write sensitively about dealing with the loss of a
grandparent, while Bijal Vachharajani's grandma would know just what to do
with all those single-use plastic bags everywhere.
A collection to be read alone or with a grandparent, Dance, Nani, Dance brings
to life the unique and beautiful bond children share with grandparents. It
will make readers laugh, or wipe a tear, or inspire them to cuddle Nani some
more!
