The ladies of Harley have spoken! This is the companion to the bestselling book, "Why Grandpa Rides a Harley," that thousands of female riders have asked for. In this beautifully illustrated book young Chelsea loves spending time with her grandparents at their cottage on the lake. She helps Grandma bake and plant flowers, but she can't understand why Grandma also rides a motorcycle, questioning her safety and exclaiming, "But you're a girl!" While Grandma has the chance to explain to Chelsea that women love to ride as much as men do, the lesson in "Grandma Loves Her Harley Too" goes much deeper. This is Grandma's opportunity to teach Chelsea that women have a lot of responsibilities - taking care of their home, the people they love, their jobs - but that women have to remember to take care of themselves too. Grandma loves riding her Harley - it is the one thing she does to "escape," to breathe life in more fully, to give to herself so she has the energy to give to everyone and everything else in her life. When riding her Harley Grandma is reminded that her life is complete. "Grandma Loves Her Harley Too" makes a wonderful gift for young and old alike.
