Abstract
This paper examines some of the literary representations of grandparents and grandchildren in children's literature published in Portugal after 2000. Some of these texts are from Portuguese authors; others are from authors that have been translated to Portuguese language. Among the set of selected texts, there are several major semantic features: the intergenerational complicity, the great affection between grandparents and their children and the vision of the elderly as initiators of the younger into the knowledge of world.
