Grandma's Story
A deeply charming picture-book for grandparents, grandchildren and everyone in-between to share. "All the grown-ups you know have their own story. They were all babies once. Then they grew, just like you..."
This charming picture-book is all about grandparents, grandchildren and connections between the generations. The two important messages at its heart are, first, that older family members often play a HUGE part in a child's life, which is something to celebrate, and, second, that we each have our own "life story" - a fundamental point for developing empathy in young children. With characterful artwork throughout, and an end-note packed full of suggestions on how to use this book with a child, Grandma's Story is a perfect choice for grandparents, grandchildren and everyone in-between to share.
