Nana in the City is a children's book written and illustrated by Lauren Castillo. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt published it in 2014. Lauren Castillo illustrated a lot of children's book, such as The Reader and Twenty Yawns. It is awarded a Caldecott Honor in 2015.

Plot

The story starts off with a young boy who visits his Nana and her new apartment in New York City. He shows how much he loves and appreciates his Nana but he does not feel the same way about the city. He has experienced the city being hectic, noisy, and it being filled with terrifying things. The boy does not think that Nana should be living in the city as he tells her that. Nana feels the opposite about the city, as she describes it as a rush, astonishing, glorious, and a perfect place for her to live. Although she says all those things, the boy does not agree with her Nana because he still thinks that New York City is not a great place for his beloved grandmother to live in.
