Making Memories with Your Grandchildren

When the authors of this book asked me to write the foreword for the second edition of GRANDLOVING, I wasn't sure I was up to the job. I mean......I think I'm still more than a few years away from grandparenting. Why would my thoughts about the subject even matter????
Yet, after reading GRANDLOVING, I knew I could take on the job (of writing the foreword, I mean). It turns out they asked me to do the honors because they love Chinaberry's philosophy and how the catalog promotes closeness and caring and joy in the moment.
Here is a book that every grandparent who wants to stay connected to a grandchild may need. For the in-town grandparents and the out-of-town grandparents; for ideas on how to memorably count down the nine months; be helpful during the postpartum visit; be in touch across the miles; be a visitor; have your grandchild visit; celebrate and memorialize holidays and traditions; etc. ... This book covers more than you'd ever think "grandloving" could entail. Ideas for cooking, art, games, and outdoor fun are all covered - and more.
Get GRANDLOVING for yourself or make sure someone who loves you gets it. Just be sure it's part of your life when your life includes grandchildren!
