Having seen the gold in grandfather . . .

Grandfathers are probably more like gold to the grandkids than any other relative, because as Janet has so profoundly put it and found others to feel the same way, Grandfathers are many people all in one body. They give to their grandchildren far more than they would ever imagine, be it knowingly so or not. Janet knows how to dig out all of it, and because Grandfathers are sometimes by choice rather than by blood line, I have given this book to several men for Father's Day because they are - in heart - the grandfather's of the world.Janet brings both humor and empathy to the people she writes about, and this is what life is all about. Janet herself has been both Grandmother and Grandfather to her grandchildren, as have a lot of us have been, and it makes all the difference in the world to our grandkids.by Granny Ro

A perfect Father's Day Gift!

This book was written for the modern, active grandfather. The stories and poems by actual grandfathers brought tears to my eyes. I loved it! I bought two for my children's gradads.
