Description: "A story about the introduction to the world of reading and writing, through the inspiring effect that a phenomenal grandmother has on a child. Many grandmas are dreamers, write poems, even wear green feathered hats ... but few dare to participate in poetry contests and plant a love of literature in their grandchildren, and consequently fulfill themselves through them, helping them grow and weaving a strand of continuity through both their lives by way of writing. Petunia is Vicente's grandmother, and she is not actually that crazy; on the contrary, her eccentricities are explained by her genuine interests"--
Review Quotes: A José Ignacio Valenzuela todos le dicen Chascas porque en Chile, su país de origen, se le llama así al cabello desordenado como el suyo. Escribe muchas historias de suspenso, policiacas y hasta románticas en libros, programas de tele, obras de teatro y también películas. En Alfaguara publicó un cuento que se llama ¿De qué color es tu sombra?, la Trilogía del Malamor y también, claro, Mi abuela, la loca. www.chascas.com @chascasvalenzuela @elchascas
