Reviews
""" Warm, simple and insightful. GRANDPA GROUNDHOG presents a clear picture of the harmony of life that is both charming and profound. The appealing use of character and design will captivate both children and adults. It was my pleasure to read such a beautiful little story with such a big truth."" Glen Keane - Disney Legend ""Kevin Geiger takes the simplest story idea and illustrates it in a minimalist style that is almost child-like. The result is a book with wisdom, warmth and charm like no other."" Don Hahn - Producer, THE LION KING, BEAUTY & THE BEAST ""Kevin Geiger has created a delightful little book that gently opens the difficult subject of explaining mortality to the very young. It is not designed to lecture, but to begin a dialogue between parent and child."" Tom Sito - Professor, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California ""GRANDPA GROUNDHOG guides us through precious life lessons with artful language and images that make children wonder, smile, and cherish what we have and who we love. A perfect book for read-aloud activities with its beautiful rhythm and rhymes, a loving reading connection for (grand)parents and children, and a great resource for social emotional learning."" Tiffany Lin - Professor, Department of Children's English Education, National Taipei University of Education"
