The Grandparent Stories: Fifteen Short Stories for Ages 6–9 About Family, Memories, and Belonging
In The Grandparent Stories, children discover that grandparents leave behind more than memories. They leave behind recipes, songs, quiet lessons, wisdom, and a love that lingers long after a visit ends. Across 15 heartfelt short stories, young readers will meet multicultural families connected through dumplings, pasta, fishing, birdwatching, origami, gardening, language, and more. Some grandparents are close by, some live on in memory, and all of them shape the children who love them.
This collection includes 8 simple family recipes inspired by the stories, and invites readers to pause, remember, and share. Beautifully illustrated and heartfelt, these stories are perfect for ages 6–9 and for anyone who treasures the lasting bond between children and grandparents.
