Description
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.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Grandma's Story by Moira Butterfield is praised as a heartfelt celebration of the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, emphasising the meaningful connections across generations.
