Publisher Description
A timeless gift for every grandchild—and a love letter to grandmas everywhere.
There’s no one like Grandma. Her stories, her laughter, her hugs—every moment shared becomes a memory to cherish. In Grandma and Me, 2025–2026 Young People's Poet Laureate Carole Boston Weatherford captures that special connection through poetic simplicity and tender truths.
The cozy illustrations beautifully reflect the richness of Black family life and cultural pride, while the comforting rhymes make it a perfect read-aloud for bedtime or quiet moments together.
Whether you're looking for books that celebrate Black family joy, a thoughtful gift for Grandparents Day, or simply a heartfelt story to share with Grandma, Grandma and Me is the one readers call “a joy-filled celebration of love.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Grandmas of myriad abilities, body types, and brown skin tones laugh, play (pat-a-cake and peek-a-boo), and more throughout this cheerful board book tribute. Weatherford's breezy, activity-oriented rhymes ("She understands/ my baby talk// and takes me on/ my morning walk") are accompanied by Corrin's bright, crayon- and stipple-textured illustrations, which feature grandmothers and babies interacting. Snuggles and smiles abound, as in one scene of a grandma who uses a wheelchair grinning as the child on her lap coos. In another spread, a toddler assists in the kitchen ("She bakes me cake// and tater pie// 'cause I'm the apple/ of her eye."). A joy-filled celebration of grandparents for babies and toddlers. Ages up to 3.
