My Grammy Says I Can't Grow Up! - Paperback

by Diana Seabeck (Author), Robert Seabeck (Illustrator)

In this book, an affectionate Grammy teases her grandchildren telling them they simply cannot grow up! She and they each understand the bittersweet feeling behind the teasing, loving admonition that they are to remain her precious ones forever. The children are full of authentic glee, telling her that she can't stop them and that they will grow up! And indeed may we adults nurture and guide all of our children along their way toward their true identities.

The author suggests you read "My Grammy Says" to your little ones using your own name, e.g. Nana, Grandma, Auntie, Mommy or Papa. Spend time exploring the vocabulary and concepts in their minds about getting older, learning, growing up and the things you enjoy about being with them as they are right now. Tell them you will always treasure your times together, which is why you say, "Don't grow up!"
