Grandma’s Story
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.
