Like all of the best multi-age books, this one can be appreciated on multiple levels. We start with the word for a grandmother in another culture and the ways that a child might greet her. We also learn things that a grandmother and grandchild might do together in that culture. That's the surface level and certainly has value. A little discussion and thought, and you're talking with an older kid about the roles of elders in a culture. We can learn from these interactions how a culture venerates it's elders and the various family dynamics.
