When Grandma Loes comes to stay, everything changes.
She dances in the living room, builds tents under the table, and comes up with the craziest plans. She can make sadness disappear with a smile. But sometimes her free, cheerful world clashes with Mom's strict rules.
When Ruby and Grandma participate in the big scooter race, she discovers something important: that winning doesn't always mean you have to be first. Sometimes you win by laughing together, falling together, and getting back up together.
A warm and sparkling story about love, freedom, imagination, and the power of grandparents who make the world a little brighter.

Marianne en Martin Schenderling:
Marianne Schenderling (Rotterdam, 1953) is a writer of psychological novels. For Grandma Loes, she chose a different target audience: children. With humor, warmth, and an eye for vulnerability, she wrote a story in which children feel seen and adults can breathe. Grandma Loes is a tribute to grandparents who open their arms, hearts, and homes—and thus pass on memories that last a lifetime.
Martin Schenderling brought the story to life with beautiful illustrations.
