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.

• National Grandparents Day in October has been growing in popularity and Grandma's Story would tie in brilliantly with themed promotions. 
• In one survey of grandparents, 98% had spent "considerably" less time with their grandchildren since the beginning of the pandemic and felt like they were "missing out". This book is a warm and reassuring response, with question prompts that work just as well over a phone/video call as in person. 
• The question prompts are asked and answered by a little girl and her grandmother in the text; the pictures also offer the different answers of two neighbours in their tower-block flat, to give a sense of a wider community.
