Book Description
"Why are people so different?" This question led to a heartfelt conversation with my daughter. After spending a weekend with both of her grandmothers, she was processing her thoughts about their differences and how much she loved them both. I quickly wrote them down and pondered how to capture her precious thoughts. Thoughts which led to the writing of this book. Grandmothers, biological or adopted, are such incredible blessings and the quality time they spend with their grandchildren is priceless. This book examines the special qualities in my daughter's grandmothers, their differences, as well as their common love for her. It includes a comparing/contrasting model that the reader can use in their own life as well as a discussion guide for grandmothers and mothers alike. Being different is a good thing and children need to realize that diversity -whether at home or in the world around them-is a part of life and to cherish the good in it. Love is a gift, and so are grandmothers. My Two Grandmothers is a book to be enjoyed by children of all ages. It also is a wonderful mentor text for teachers to use in their reading instruction.

Book Description
“A celebration of specific manifestations of universal love. . . . A deep and beautiful book modeling grandmothers as heroines.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In this big universe full of many moons, I have traveled and seen many wonders, but I have never loved anything or anyone the way I love my grandma. While Mina is growing up in Iran, the center of her world is her grandmother. Whether visiting friends next door, going to the mosque for midnight prayers during Ramadan, or taking an imaginary trip around the planets, Mina and her grandma are never far apart. At once deeply personal and utterly universal, Mina Javaherbin’s words make up a love letter of the rarest sort: the kind that shares a bit of its warmth with every reader. Soft, colorful, and full of intricate patterns, Lindsey Yankey’s illustrations feel like a personal invitation into the coziest home filled with familial adoration.

Book Description
Aston's Grandad Roy played in a steel band and Grandad Harry played the trumpet in a brass band. Aston always enjoyed going to visit them and listen to them practise. But soon he wanted to join in. So he asked Grandad Roy to teach him to play the steel drums and then he asked Grandad Harry to teach him to play the trumpet. He loved practising both instruments. Then the school needs a band to play at the school fair, and both grandads want their own band to play. Finaly Aston had an idea - both bands join together to make one big band, and Aston joins in first on steel drums and then on trumpet. This delightful story of a mixed-race family reconciling their very different cultures is a wonderful celebration of diverse cultures. Written by one of Britain's foremost campaigners and media personalities and illustrated by a highly regarded illustrator, this book is sure to build on the success of My Two Grannies.
