Katie Morag and the Two Grandmothers

Reach for this book when your child is navigating the social friction that occurs when very different family members or personalities clash. It is a wonderful tool for children who might feel caught in the middle of 'dueling' grandparents or who struggle to understand how people with contrasting lifestyles can find common ground. Set on the charming Scottish Isle of Struay, the story follows Katie Morag as she hosts her two grandmothers: the rugged, tractor-driving Grannie Island and the sophisticated, high-fashion Grandma Mainland. When a crisis involving a prize sheep arises, the two women must combine their vastly different skills to save the day. It is a gentle, humorous look at family dynamics and the realization that everyone has something valuable to contribute, regardless of their exterior. Perfect for ages 4 to 8, this story celebrates the richness of a diverse family tree.
