|concern = Non-notable book. Article was originally created in a clumsy manner (it contained factual errors such as calling the book a "novel", as well as copy-pasted text) in order to make a point, without regard for inclusion criteria or whether enough sourceable content exists to build an article. After three months it's still a microstub, and looks set to remain so permanently.

Mottainai Grandma is a Japanese children's book by Mariko Shinju about wastefulness, published in 2004. The Japanese word mottainai means "wasteful".[1]

On January 13, 2018, it was released in Hindi and English translation in New Delhi, India, by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.[2] An earlier Japanese-English bilingual edition (pictured) was published by Kodansha in November 2005.

Shinju started having ideas about writing the book while trying to explain mottainai to her child.[3]
