God truely gave Gracie Malone a gift, when He led her to write this book. The tips she adds to the end of each chapter, for things you can do with your grandchildren, are wonderful. A blessing for grandparents. I plan to use this when I have grandchildren. Within the first chapter, I decided this is going to be my standard gift to friends when they become grandparents.
