The Book


This delightful book highlights the feelings and changes that occur when Grandma permanently leaves her home and takes up residence with one of her children. The author speaks from experience and has many tips on assimilating precious Grandma into her new space and  her new life.  


Grandma's little granddaughter takes it upon herself to be her BFF as she helps set up her Grandma's room,  helps tend to her plants, makes sure that she is fed well and tries to make her feel comfortable as she transitions into her new environment.  


This heartwarming story is funny and sweet as every member of the family tries their very best to welcome Grandma into their home showing her love and kindness as she integrates into daily life.  


The illustrations visually highlight the emotional and multi-generational challenges a family goes through.  It portrays a lovely life lesson as to how our elders should be treated... with care, love and respect.  I love the book and I highly recommend it!
