“If I had known grandchildren were so much fun, I’d have had them first!”

Being a grandparent is a second chance at parenting, full of joy and excitement. Yet the world has changed since we had our own children. We long to bring encouragement, to bring out the best in, and to just be there for our beloved grandchildren.

In this lovely light-hearted collection of quotes and sayings, Katharine Hill and Rob Parsons – both grandparents themselves – offer ideas, strategies and practical tips on this vital role within the family.

Grandparents are the holders of memories, the stories woven together over generations that make up a family.
