Book Description

For all grandparents who are never too old to love, and never too old to be loved back. While Milton shares lots of stories of hugs and giggles, of silly songs, and tender moments, he also knows that many grandparents struggle with the challenge of long-distance grandparenting, with the pain and tension of separation from grandchildren due to marriage breakup, and with the anxiety and distress of gradnchildren who are in trouble or who are ill. But Milton doesn't dwell on these things. Rather, he returns, always, to the delight, wonder, and love, which is foremost in the experience of any grandparent; and to the inherent bond that exists between older adults and children. This remarkable book is for grandparents who are new to the role and for grandparents who have earned their degree in "grandparentology" through long experience. It's for "traditional" grandparents and for grandparents of adopted children; it's for surrogate grandparents and even for grandparents-in-waiting.
