Synopsis

Summary

This heartwarming and exuberant book honors the blessings of every grandmother in a child’s life, by distinguished author Cynthia Leitich Smith (Muscogee) and illustrator Aphelandra (Oneida).

Whether a grandma is mom’s mom or dad’s mom, a great-grandma, a foster grandma, or an honorary grandma, grandmothers bring a special kind of love wherever they go. Grandmas tell stories, teach skills, and make memories, and no community is complete without their helpful hands, loving presence, and good humor.

A wonderful gift from or for a treasured grandma!
