Reviews"...To combine the sneaky, skilled ninja with the preconceived notion of what a grandmother should be is nothing short of brilliant! The illustrations are super cute and the geriatric ninjas of the world are well represented in the character of Grandma."- Big Hair and Books, "Todd Tarpley is a black belt picture book writer. My Grandma's a Ninja packs a funny punch for the mind, body and spirit." --Bianca Schulze, The Children's Book Review, "With a fast pace and humorous tone, the important lesson of appreciating people for all their quirks goes down easy. Chatzikonstantinou's stylized, cartoonish illustrations have the look of an animated TV show..."- Erin Linsenmeyer, Booklist, "This delightful picture book is full of humor and action. Terrific as a read-aloud, it will keep young children rapt from the first page until the last. It also has a wonderful message of tolerance, acceptance, and unconditional love."- Amy Shepherd, School Library Journal, "The illustrations are priceless, adding so much to the already fun plot, and that's exactly what a picture book should do...This is one of those books that will have to be read again and again and again and again."- Bookworm for Kids
