Reach for this book when your child starts noticing that their own family does not look like the ones in classic fairy tales or cartoons. It is the perfect choice for a child who feels a disconnect between the 'traditional' images of elderly people and the vibrant, active grandparent they know in real life. The story follows a young girl who proudly describes her grandmother: a woman who has black hair, loves adventure, and definitely does not spend her time knitting in a rocking chair. Through a lens of humor and affection, Mary Hoffman explores themes of identity and the breaking of stereotypes. It validates a child's lived experience while celebrating the diversity of what a modern family looks like. Suitable for ages 3 to 7, this book is a joyous tool for parents who want to foster gratitude for unique family dynamics and teach their children that being 'different' from a storybook trope is something to be celebrated.
