About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate a family member who lives life on their own terms or when your child notices that their family looks a bit different from the ones in movies. It is a joyful, rhyming tribute to a grandmother who defies the cookie-baking stereotype, choosing instead to grow organic kale, play the banjo, and stand up for her beliefs at City Hall. Through the eyes of an adoring granddaughter, we see a lifestyle rooted in nature, activism, and creative expression. The story honors the beauty of non-conformity and the deep bonds of love that transcend lifestyle choices. It is a perfect choice for parents wanting to normalize diverse family structures and values like environmentalism and social justice. The gentle rhythm and vibrant illustrations make it an accessible, heartwarming read for children ages 4 to 8.
