At 89 years old, writer Robert Kimmel Smith will celebrate another important event in his career because one of his most famous novel War With Grandpa is coming to theaters headed by Robert de Niro.
The happiness of this renown child writer began when he was only 8 years old and he thought about this story between a grandfather, now embodied by De Niro, and his grandson, played by Oakes Fegley.
Kimmel Smith marked several child generations with books like Chocolate Fever, which originated as a bedtime story for his daughter Heidi, or The Squeaky Wheel, about the experiences of a boy during the divorce of his parents.
