Book Overview from Amazon:  This book explores the extraordinary loving relationship that typically exists between very young children and their grandparents. The sensitively written Let’s Talk About It Books encourage preschool-age and early-grades children to explore their feelings, and speak openly to a parent or other trusted adult about things that trouble them. Each title discusses a particular concern or anxiety that children often encounter in the course of growing up. All books in this series have appealing color illustrations on every page, and are available in both English and Spanish language editions. A short section at the back of each book offers advice to parents.

Mary’s Review:  I really enjoyed this children’s book.  As it has said some of us only have one grandparent, some of us have two or more grandparents and some of us like myself, do not have any grandparents.  Whatever the case may be, grandparents are special people who teach us many different things like traditions.  They play with us and tell us stories and help us to remember who we are.  It also lets us know that some day as our grandparents get older we will eventually be the ones setting  and teaching the traditions.  There is also a page at the back of the book especially for parents to help tell them the importance of grandparents and great-parents and how this book can be used interactively. This book has some very cute and colorful illustrations done by Marta Fabrega.
