A humorous family mystery about a Grandma's big secret! Kendall and Kayson love going to visit their grandparents and their Grandma's birthday means CAKE, but how many candles to put on it? As the story unfolds, and misunderstandings abound, inquisitive Kendall is surprised to find out more than he bargained for. “How Old is Grandma?” joyfully illustrates the interactions amongst a loving African American family; children, parents, and grandparents and the learning experiences they share. Warm story-telling with a humor and charm that illustrates an understanding of the funniness and peace of mind that is so commonly found in children. The first in a series of books written for children ages 4 and up.
As an African American woman, mother of 3, and grandmother of 3, over the years she has found fun, joy and shared experiences sharing books with children. Now as a grandmother and an emerging voice in writing, her goal is to produce a memorable series of humorous family-oriented stories featuring people of color to share, “Teaching is my passion and I am thankful that I am sharing my joy and passing it forward.”

My grandmother always sang 80s Pop songs when we passed a cemetery. She said the songs could wake the dead - haha!
ReplyDeleteTo begin with...so glad to have you on my blog. Best of luck with your book.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be able to tell I'm not a "spring chicken" by my story but as a child my grandfather was a big old tough but soft man and he always called me "peon".
As I grew up and looked the word up I realized it could be meant derogatory. He was gone by then and my grandmother said he meant "little one". That he meant it as an endearing term. Always made it sort of a special name after that.
This sounds like a terrific book.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on this tour and thanks for the opportunity to read about another great book out there to read. It helps out so I can find books I know my family will enjoy reading. Thanks as well for the giveaway.
