Grandpa's have to be just about the most wonderful thing on earth. God saw fit to allow me to know only one of mine and I wish we had been closer in my childhood but how precious the relationship has been between my father and my children. How thankful I am for that!
Thank you, God, for Grandpa by Amy Parker reminds us that, whatever we call our grandfather, he is a gift from God. Grandpas are wise and teach us. They pass on family traditions and tell us stories of their youth. They play with us and often provide special treats. They tell us about Jesus and how to live our lives. And there is nothing we can do to make them love us less.
I love the board book format which surprises no one who reads my blog. I love books that small hands can manage and can feel and touch without any danger of ripping pages. This volume also has a lightly padded front and back cover with rounded corners which I love as well. The brightly colored illustration featuring sweet faced gorillas is destined to be a child's favorite who has just such a Godly wonderful grandfather in his/her life. Whether Grandpa is near or far, we need to keep these precious people at the forefront of our child's minds and I think this companion to Thank You, God, for Grandma, is a wonderful way to do so.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and am in no way obligated to write a positive one.
