""I am passionate about Grandma Had a Grandma Too because it is inspired by the real life relationship between my mother and niece. They share such a fun and loving friendship and I wanted to capture it in words. What started out as a personal poem soon grew into the vision for this story--a beautifully illustrated picture book.""
