Written by a caring and loving grandparent of six, Cheri brings a vast array of ideas to eager grandparents longing to connect, reconnect or to sustain a loving and meaningful relationship with their grandkids, regardless of the geographical distance.

Cheri has done her homework. Not only does she openly share her experiences in fostering a loving relationship with her own grandkids, she offers delightful stories, examples and recipes from grandparents she interviewed from across the country.

As Cheri points out in her introduction, this book can easily be read from beginning to end–or you can select the specific chapters on which you have an interest and then dive in.

There are a total of fourteen chapters from which you can choose. A sample of the chapter contents include:

The Joy of Connecting with Our Grandchildren

Just-for-fun Stuff to Do with Grandkids

Traveling with Your Grandkids

You’ve got mail: Connecting through Letters and Cards

Connecting via the Internet and Technology

Connecting through Arts and Crafts

Connecting through Story Telling

Being a Spiritual Influence in Your Grandkids Lives

Cheri supplies you with “tips” for arts and crafts, connecting by phone, good things to take when traveling with grandkids, can’t-miss classic children’s books for preschoolers through pre-teen and high school years, and she also shares a special recipe for Granma Flossie’s Cinnamon Rolls.

Surprise a grandparent with this delightful and important book as a gift, or give it to yourself to develop and keep loving memories of you in your grandkid’s lives.

Armchair Interviews says: A delightful read.
