A treasure

Any time a grandparent can pass thoughts and love along in words a treasure is created. I think my sister-in-law will love this book. She has more than one grandchild so it can be kept at Grandma's for both of the little ones or more can be purchased if she wants to personalize them.

Grandmother's Book of Promises

This book was perfect when I had my first grandchild. I know my daughter & grandson will treasure it forever.

This is a wonderful storybook that's a "must have" for Grandmothers everywhere. The illustrations are nice and story is charming. It makes a nice gift for yourself or for any grandparent you know. This book is a true gem! Debbie Farmer, parenting author, 'Don't Put Lipstick on the Cat'

Excitement of being a grandmother......

When I first found out that I was going to be a grandmother for the first time, I started noticing books about grandmothers. I looked through this book and thought it was so cute, so I bought it, intending to give it to my grandchild. When my son was married, his wife had a seven year old daughter. Now that they are expecting, I decided I needed to make her daughter feel special to me before the baby was born. They haven't been married for long, so I haven't had the chance to bond with her as yet. So, one day, when she was at my house and climbing all over my son, I decided she needed something to settle her down, so I went and got this book and gave it to her. She immediately wanted to read it with me. So she began reading and looking at the pictures. It got her attention quickly with the wording of the way grandmothers and their grandchildren could spend quality time. She'd read and then look at me with those big brown eyes and smile or giggle. It was the first time we had connected as a grandmother and grandchild. I finished the last couple of pages for her as she sat in my lap. When we finished it, she hugged my neck. That was when my heart melted for the first time as a "Grammy." I went shopping yesterday and bought some super soaker water guns that she and I could play with...which was a way to have fun together, which is the theme of this book. I can't wait until I surprise her with them. It is a sweet book to share with your grandchild about how you can bond with your grandchild by doing silly things. Leave the discipline to the parents and just enjoy them. It was the first time I had experienced the unconditional love that a grandchild can give you in return. I might be going through the experience of a first grandchild's birth, but I have learned that this will surely be my second grandchild; my first is a seven year old little girl with big brown eyes that loved this book.
