Hand in Hand with Grammy: A Rhyming Picture Book About Faith, Family, and God's Love (Lily and The Sunflower Patch Kidz)($10.99Value)

Description

Every day with Grammy is a special day — and a chance to see God's love a little more clearly. From planting seeds in the garden to counting stars before bed, from a scraped knee on the sidewalk to sheltering safely together through a thunderstorm, Lily and her Grammy find something new to notice, name, and give thanks for in every ordinary moment. In this gentle, rhyming picture book, young readers follow Lilly through the seasons with the grandmother who teaches her — one small lesson at a time — how faith, kindness, and family show up in real life: Feeding ducks by the pond and watching the clouds drift overhead - Baking together for a sick neighbor, and learning what it means to help - Working through a disagreement with a friend the kind way - Sitting close through a scary storm, safe in Grammy's arms - Sharing bedtime Bible stories and asking the biggest question of all: just how big is God's love? - Holding onto family even when Grammy isn't feeling well, or when they're far apart Written in warm, read-aloud rhyme and paired with tender full-color illustrations on every page, Lily's "Hand in Hand with Grammy" is made to be read again and again — at bedtime, on a lap during a visit with Grandma, or any time a family wants a quiet moment to talk about faith, gratitude, and what really matters. A heartfelt gift for grandmothers and granddaughters, and a sweet addition to any family's shelf of Christian picture books. Beverly Brintnall is the creator of the "Lily and the Sunflower Patch Kids" children's book series, born from love, loss, faith, and the hope of leaving something beautiful behind. The inspiration for these stories began with Beverly's beloved nephew, Michael. From the first time she looked into his beautiful blue eyes, she knew they shared a special bond. Michael was remarkably gifted in music and art, with a sensitive, creative spirit that the world around him did not always understand. Tragically, Michael passed away before his daughter, Lily, celebrated her first birthday. The Lily & Grammy books were created in his memory and for Lily's future. Through the loving relationship between a little girl and her grandmother, Beverly hopes to give children stories filled with faith, kindness, curiosity, reassurance, and the simple lessons that can shape a child for a lifetime. At the heart of the series is a message Beverly deeply believes: children deserve to know how loved, valuable, and wonderfully made they are. For Beverly, these books are more than stories. They are a way to keep Michael's memory alive, create a lasting connection for Lily, and turn an unimaginable loss into something that can bring light to other families. Every Lily & Grammy story is written with love, guided by faith, and created with the hope that a child somewhere will close the book feeling just a little more loved, hopeful, and secure in the world.                                               Michael's story helped inspire the beginning.                                               Lily gives the stories their future.                                               And love is the thread that connects them all.
