Books with title Grandma's Hands

Little One's Summer's with Grandma were always exciting but nothing could have prepared her for this Summer. The Summer she'd finally get to meet her Great Grandmother. The only thing is her Great-Grandmother had died many years ago. This sort of thing doesn't matter in a family of southern spiritualist, anything was possible when real Black girl magic was involved. A simple trip to the bookstore turned out to actually be a rights of passage that opened the door to an ancient family gift and secret. Every few generations a girl child is chosen to reset the path of unfinished family business. With the selection of the perfect journal from Ms. Jarrell's bookshop Little One sets of a series of events that allows her and her Grandmother to finally put an urban legend built around her family to rest. Based on the urban legend of the Yazoo witch of Mississppi this skillfully crafted short story speaks to the inner power in all of us, but especially touches on the magic and power of young women, particularly those with Black Girl Magic.

Shonda is heartbroken. She just lost her mother, and now she has to move away to live with her grandmother, which means she will miss her friends and her favorite teacher. But her teacher shares something with her that helps Shonda. Today, millions of children are living with millions of grandparents and other relatives without their parents. You may know one of these children or the relative caring for them. They are not alone! We support the children, and we applaud these caregivers not only on Grandparents' Day (The Sunday after Labor Day in September) but every day.

Often, after school, a little girl goes to her grandmother’s house, where everything is always the same but, then again, different. One day, she puts her coat on the hook in the hall, pours a glass of milk for herself in the kitchen, and tries to reach the cookie jar on the highest shelf in the pantry. But where is Grandma? Children will love exploring the rooms in Grandma’s House, peering through its cutout pages from one room to the next and journeying high up into the foldout attic in search of Grandma. Highly detailed and intricately illustrated in Alice Melvin’s trademark style, Grandma’s House is another winner from one of today’s shining stars of illustration.
