Grandparents's Day

In Poland and Bulgaria, January 21 honors grandmothers and the following day, January 22, honors grandfathers. These two days are celebrate primarily by young families with events in primary and secondary schools throughout the country 1. The Google Logo commemorating this holiday shows two grandparents taking their grandchildren out for a walk in a park. This very cartoony illustration filled with pastels and bright colors, gives off the warmth that is associated with a quite day spent hang out with your grandma and grandpa. I find it kind of amusing how they portray the grandfather, on one hand he appears very spry and full of energy but on the other hand he carries a cane.
