About This Book

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book contains no sensitive topics. It is a uniformly positive and celebratory text with a secular approach. The focus is entirely on the love and connection within a family, with no mention of loss, conflict, or other complex issues.
Ideal Reader
A 3 or 4-year-old who is just starting to ask questions about family relationships (“Who is Grandma?” or “Is Grandma your mommy?”). It is also perfect for a child who has a very close relationship with their grandmother and would enjoy seeing that bond reflected in a book. It serves as an excellent resource for a preschool unit on families.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The content is straightforward and can be read cold. A parent could enhance the experience by having photos of the family's own grandmothers available to look at after reading. A child asks, “Why do I have two grandmas?” or “Is your mommy my grandma?” A parent might also seek this book to prepare a child for a visit with their grandmother or to simply find a book that celebrates their specific family bond.
