This adorable rhyming children's book about real-life grandparents redefines the images of grandparents found in most children's books. Today's diverse "grands" live vibrantly with vivacious attitudes about life. They work a myriad of jobs with passion. They're teachers and doctors, welders and bankers, artists and lawyers, and many other things. Some are retired and engage in fun hobbies from gaming to gardening. They may be writers who weave with words, artists who create beauty, or volunteers making a difference in the world. Today's grandparents are leading the way for the next generation to learn how to age with grace, integrity and fun! This is a wonderful, heartwarming book for parents, grandparents, and children to enjoy together. The beautiful illustrations will change the way you see grandparents. So, if you are a grandparent or know one or love one who is anything from artist to Zamboni driver or anything in between you'll want to share this book. If you are or know a "grand" who rocks and rolls and breaks the mold of grandparents, this book is for you!

A neat look at all the different kinds of roles grandparents can play. Also uses grandparental titles from around the globe (like Babka is Polish for Grandmother). Beautiful artwork. A nice boost if you're a grandparent.
As a Kindergarten teacher, I highly recommend this book. The lyrical language and gorgeous illustrations are really appealing to young children. When I read this book to my students, they were fully engaged and interested. They asked great questions about the various jobs portrayed in the book. The book became a springboard for a rich discussion about grandparents and their roles in our lives. The students also loved learning the different names for grandparents used around the world. It allowed me an opportunity to take out the world map and have an impromptu geography lesson! This beautiful book by Deborah Drezon Carroll will be one that I share with my students every year . I've already bought several copies for my colleagues and friends who have grandchildren.
The best books are the ones that invite children and grown-ups to share the learning. In Real Grands: From A to Z, I was learning new words on every page! The author cleverly introduces names for grandparents from a variety of countries and cultures. What a cool way to be introduced to the Babka’s, Bibi’s and Bomma’s of the world! And fear not – anyone who worries that becoming a grandparent means leaving your youthful life behind learns they have nothing to fear. The “Grands” in this book are the real deal – they jog, kayak, ride motorbikes, and strike amazing yoga poses! So listen up grandbabies and grandkids – we have a lot more in store for you than talking about “the good ol’ days!”A great book for celebrating Grandparents Day every day!
As a grandparent and American, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Who knew there were so many ways to say grandparent? My grandson just started calling me grandma, but I'm not the only one, and he has three grandpa's, so some different names that we hadn't thought of yet will certainly come in handy. Love the diversity and ageless illustrations in the book. As a former teacher, I believe that a young child is open to everything, so why not young, diverse grandparents who work hard and play hard too! Describes me and many of the great grandparents I know. Great read for grandparents and their grandchildren!!
