In Grandpa's Hands: A Child's Celebration of Family

Description: Time shared between grandparents and their grandchildren are moments to cherish. These are the times when hope and promise are present. To honor not only her father (a much-loved father, grandfather and great-grandfather) but to honor all Grandpas, Dr. Marlena E. Uhrik offers In Grandpa’s Hands: A Child’s Celebration of Family. This stunning book calls forth the special bond that occurs between the generations as they reach out to teach — and touch each other’s spirit. Uhrik writes, “[Grandpas] are the keeper of the family, the strength, the history, and wisdom of generations.…Grandpas teach us the things we need to know for everyday life and help carry us into our future.” Featuring 12 simple-yet-poignant full-page pencil drawings by Barbara Cervone, accompanied by a simple statement on the facing page, the book immediately calls to mind special moments with one’s own grandparents. As a prominent children’s advocate who has received national and international recognition, Uhrik also hopes In Grandpa’s Hands will promote communication and the emotional connectedness that comes from a nurturing relationship of fundamental importance. Beautifully illustrated, this book is a work of art that communicates the reassurance of a caring relationship, a sense of well-being, and a sense of future.
