Matti’s grandmother loves to knit, bake cakes, and—more than anything—read the newspaper. But lately, her eyesight has been failing. Matti, her nine-year-old granddaughter, determined to make Grandma happy, volunteers to visit her every day and read the newspaper aloud. There’s just one problem: Matti has a secret. She’s nine years old… and she still doesn’t know how to read.
What follows is a lively, funny, suspenseful, and imaginative journey that begins in Grandma’s kitchen and ends in an orange-tinted revolution. The play explores facing challenges, keeping secrets, caring for friends and the environment, and the deep love between a grandmother and her granddaughter. Based on the bestselling, award-winning book by Tami Shem Tov, recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for Children’s Literature.
