Grandparents are the holders of the memories, of stories that have been woven together over generations to make up a family.

Being a grandparent is a second chance at parenting, full of joy and excitement. It is also a time of adjustment as we find our feet in a world that has substantially changed since we had our own children. Many of us long for help, for a little encouragement as we try to be there for, and bring out the best in, our beloved children.

In this lovely light-hearted little collection of quotes and sayings, Katharine Hill and Rob Parsons – both grandparents themselves – offer ideas, strategies and practical tips on this vital role within the family. Whether we are over-eager or burnt-out grandparents, very involved or unsure how to help, this hilarious, engaging little book is sure to bring sunshine and a smile, and a little help as you make the very most of your grandparenting years.
