Author's Notes: Throughout my adult life and teaching career I had played around with the idea of writing children’s books but my ideas and words didn’t flow! One day I was chasing my granddaughter around the yard and she was close to a hill and almost fell. I took her hand and said, “Hold my hand. It’s safer when we’re together." We proceeded to go down by the lake to play and I stared at my hands, and thought about the hands of the grandmothers that I know. Suddenly the idea and the words came together so easily. The book practically wrote itself!
Book Synopsis:
My Grandma's Hands celebrates the cherished relationship between grandmothers and grandchildren. Hands are the connection that brings the two closer. At birth Grandma holds the child and welcomes her to the world. As the child grows the situation reverses and it is the child keeping Grandma safe. At turns funny and sobering this multicultural book celebrates all that is good about this special relationship.Check out Susan's website for upcoming events and to order her book.
