Plot

Nana in the City tells the story of a young child that goes to visit his grandmother's new apartment in New York City. Unfortunately he encounters so many things that make him feel that Nana should not be living there. For example he thinks that the city is very noisy and is very crowded, because of this Nana tells him that she will show him the real wonders of living in a big city like New York City. While the boy sleeps Nana knitted him a red cape that he can use to go outside a and explore the city with much more confidence, this cape works so well for him that he ties his cape to his dear Nana.[3]
