A grandmother who once lived in the city moves to the countryside, hoping to finally have time to read. But once she arrives, she finds a long list of tasks waiting for her both inside and outside the house. In spring, unexpected guests come to visit; in summer, she busies herself making fruit jam; and the rainy season arrives far too early, keeping her hands full all the way until winter. It isn't until deep winter, after she finishes caring for the animals and storing away the jam, that grandmother finally gets to sit down and read to her heart's content. Each season, grandmother hopes, 'Now I'll finally be able to read,' only for something new to come up—bringing a gentle, bittersweet smile to readers. And when she finally does get to read, watching her nod off mid-page brings a warm, familiar sense of life's simple joys. The detailed yet bold illustrations and the endearing portrayal of grandmother make for a charming and distinctive read, while also offering young readers a delightful glimpse into the small details of country life.
