A humorous family mystery about a Grandma's big secret! Kendall and Kayson love going to visit their grandparents and their Grandma's birthday means CAKE, but how many candles to put on it? As the story unfolds, and misunderstandings abound, inquisitive Kendall is surprised to find out more than he bargained for. “How Old is Grandma?” joyfully illustrates the interactions amongst a loving African American family; children, parents, and grandparents and the learning experiences they share. Warm story-telling with a humor and charm that illustrates an understanding of the funniness and peace of mind that is so commonly found in children. The first in a series of books written for children ages 4 and up.
As an African American woman, mother of 3, and grandmother of 3, over the years she has found fun, joy and shared experiences sharing books with children. Now as a grandmother and an emerging voice in writing, her goal is to produce a memorable series of humorous family-oriented stories featuring people of color to share, “Teaching is my passion and I am thankful that I am sharing my joy and passing it forward.”

Thanks so much for hosting us, It's Raining Books!
ReplyDeleteWe'd love to hear if any of you have a fun memory with your grandparents that you'd like to share, especially if it involves a youthful misunderstanding.
My mom used to tell me of a story from when I was a little kid. Grandma was coming to visit at Christmas, and I needed to keep a big secret about what her gift was. Of course, the very moment she got to our door, I ran right up and said "Grandma! We got you bedroom shoes!!" Everyone laughed... all good!
We hope you enjoy reading the book and learning about some of Antoinette's family experiences as well!
