Plot

Nana in the City 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 his 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.

That next morning, her Nana keeps her promise of showing the boy how wonderful the city is. She knits him a fancy red cape and makes him wear it making him feel fearless and courageous. As they explore the city, he still notices the things that he saw from the other day, but it was not as bad as he thought it was. As he wears his red cape, he appreciates the city even more. Later that day, he agrees with his Nana that the city is filled with amazing things. He then confirms that there is a lot of fun things that his Nana can do in the city even when it can get loud and busy. When it was time for the young boy to leave, he offers his cape to his Nana to keep her bold being in the city. Although he does not change his opinion on the fact that New York City can get crowded and crazy, he then realizes that it is a great place for her Nana to live and for him to visit. [1] [2] [3]
