内容简介:
For everyone who has the best grandpa in the world!
This little girl's grandpa is the champion at fixing toys, making her laugh and at blowing up her beach crocodile. He pushes her so high on the swings that she nearly touches the sky! But the best thing of all is when her grandpa gives her a special message: that she's his little champion and he loves her.

引用豆瓣上一位书友的评论: 原来,舞台上,所有的舞动,所有的吟唱,所有的跳跃,所有的欢笑,都比不上舞台下,一个暖暖的相拥,一个浅浅的微笑,一句淡然而又深情入骨的话语:
“he wouldn't trade a million good days for the days he spend with us.(就是用一百万个那样的好日子,也换不走他和我们在一起的每一天)”
You're a wise woman with a wealth of knowledge and a world of experience.
And just when you thought you'd seen it all...
you became a grandmother. And since then, nothing has been the same.
Isn't it amazing how much a little person can make such a big difference?
你是一个富有知识和经验的聪明女人
当你觉得你什么都经历过了... 你当了奶奶
自此以后,什么都不一样了
这个小不点带来了如此大的变化,不可思议吧?
Grandma, Nana, Bubbie, Grams...
Whatever your grandchild dedides to call you
it's the sweetest word in the world.
奶奶,姨奶奶,亲奶奶,IVY ...
无论孙女怎么称呼你,那都是这世上最甜美的字眼
You were never one to brag...
but showing off is part of a grandma's job description
Before your grandchild came along,
you may not have fully understood why the picture frame was invented.
你从来不喜欢吹牛... 但是炫耀是奶奶的职责所在
在孙女降生前,你可能没法真正理解为什么发明了相框
Saturday morning cartoons give you the giggles.
Children's books are fun to read again, and again, and again, and again!
And you're pretty sure the phone was invented
just so a little voice could call to say "I love you."
When it comes to art, you know what you like.
And there's always room for more.
周六的早晨漫画会逗得你咯咯笑
儿童绘本是那么有趣,你读了一遍,一遍,又一遍!
你相当确定,电话是发明来听一个柔柔的声音说“我爱你”
谈起艺术,你知道你喜欢什么,你总有空间展示她的作品
There's always someone there to remind you
that sometimes it's okay to stop and pick the dandelions.
Cartwheels and training wheels and "Watch this!" times 100
give you lots of practice at oohing and ahhing.
总有人提醒你,有时要停下来摘蒲公英
跟她骑三轮车、滑轮车,100次的叫她“小心!”,还有不停地“噢”“啊”
You amuse yourself and amaze your friends...
with everything you know about superheroes.
You never thought you'd have to do show-and-tell ever again...
but that's what family photo albums are for!
Doing homework, doing chores, doing nothing much at all...
if you're doing it together, it's extraordinary.
你对超人的认识之全面,令你愉悦也令你朋友惊奇
你从没想过,你会乐于展示并介绍你的家庭相册
不管做饭、做家务、还是什么都不做,只要有她在旁边,感觉就棒极了
There's always someone who really, really wants to sit next to you at the table.
You've never felt so important...
from the first enormous hug to the last wistful
"Do you have to go?"
用餐时,总有人真的、真的想坐在你旁边
你从来没有感觉到这么重要
她那么热烈地拥抱你,依依不舍地问:“你一定要走吗?”
You become really, really good at pretending
you never, ever heard that knock-knock joke before.
Grandkids keep you sharp!
It's all that thinking up new ways to let them be the winner.
你变得非常擅长演戏,你说你从来没有听过她讲的笑话
她也令你保持思维敏锐,因为你总要想出不同的方法让她赢
"You can't always get what you want..."
is not always true for your grandkids.
"Just because" is the only occasion you need to give a grandkid a present.
Is there anything sweeter that a teeny tiny pair of shoes?
“你不能总是得到你想要的...”,这对你孙女来说可不总是真的。
“只是因为...”就是找个送礼物给孙女的理由。
还有什么比这双小鞋更可爱迷人的么?
You also learn it isn't always fun and games.
Nothing makes your heart hurt more that when your grandchild is feeling sad.
But you can tell them, because you know that it is true,
that hurt does not stay forever...
and happy fells happier than ever before.
你也清楚生活并不总是开心和游戏
没有什么比孙女的伤心更让你心碎
但你会对她说---你知道这是真的---
疼痛不会持久,幸福总会比以往更多
In their lifetime, they'll learn
there are a million different kinds of love.
And you'll help them learn that the best kind is the forever kind...
with no conditions and no strings.
她一生中会见识到许多许多不同的爱
你要帮助她明白,最美的爱是永恒的爱、无条件的爱
And, as if that weren't enough,
you get another chance to notice all the magic in the world.
Whether it's right at your feet... or all around you...
or up where dreams are just taking shape.
这似乎还不够,你有另一个机会见证世上的奇迹
它可能发生在你的脚边、你的身边、或是让梦想成形
When you're holding your grandchild's hand,
tomorrow looks like a beautiful place to be headed for.
当你牵着孙女的手,明天变得更加美好,让我们一起前行
推荐《爷爷一定有办法》,故事中的爷爷心灵手巧,用一块漂亮的布料,做成宝宝的被子,随着宝宝的长大,把被子改成了外套,背心,领带……。故事中大量运用排比的语言,琅琅上口,画面温馨细腻,值得反复阅读。
