Synopsis
Summary
Becca loves spending time with Grandma. Every time Becca says, “Let me try,” Grandma shows her how to make something beautiful. Whether they are beading moccasins, dancing like the most beautiful butterflies, or practicing basketball together, Becca knows that, more than anything, she wants to be just like Grandma. But Grandma is also learning from Becca. And Grandpa is there throughout taking care of them while they all learn together.
