Join author Bitsy Kemper for a story time and celebration of her brand new children's picture book, Best Friends with Grandma. Perfect for kids ages 3 to 8.
A lyrical love letter to grandmas everywhere—rooted in faith, filled with grace, and wrapped in the magic of everyday moments.
“Grandma and I are best friends. But not just because her room is messy like mine. We’re best friends because…”
Best Friends with Grandma is a heartwarming picture book that celebrates the quiet, everyday moments between grandmothers and grandchildren—the small gestures that leave a lasting imprint. More than just a giggly story, it’s a tribute to the unspoken, unwavering love passed down through generations.
Perfect for fans of Grandmother's Promise by Amy June Bates, Thank You, Omu! by Oge Mora, and Lullaby Prayer by Tamara Bundy, this tender story radiates warmth, faith, and intergenerational connection.
Each page features a culturally diverse child and grandmother pair, showcasing the beautiful ways love and faith show up around the world—from shared chairs and off-key songs to secret snacks and soft-spoken wisdom.
