She loved gardening and had the best vegetable patch in the village. One day, Grandma received a letter from her daughter, who lived on the other side of the jungle. \n\n\"Please come and visit me,\" said the letter. \"I haven't seen you in so long. I miss you.\" \n\nAnd so, Grandma begins a perilous journey to the far side of the jungle. Along the way, she encounters three very hungry animals: a sly fox, an intimidating black bear, and a sleek, striped tiger. Can Grandma use her sharp wit to escape the jungle animals and make it safely home? \n\nAward-winning novelist Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's first picture book for children speaks of courage, cleverness, and most importantly, love. Her words are perfectly complemented by the rich, vibrant illustrations of Susy Pilgrim Waters.","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242261360876,"sku":"9781250895288","price":19.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250895288-grandma-and-the-great-gourd-1.jpg?v=1787968800"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/retold-by-chitra-banerjee-divakaruni.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
