What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This is a strictly secular and gentle text. There are no mentions of loss, illness, or family strife. It presents an idealized but realistic portrait of a healthy grandparent-grandchild relationship.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or early elementary student who finds comfort in repetition and sensory details. It is particularly suited for a child who may be feeling a bit overwhelmed by a fast-paced schedule and needs a literary 'slow down' or a child who has a very close bond with a grandparent.
