Every good and perfect gift is from God.
– James 1:17
I have many wonderful memories with my grandmother … picking strawberries, working in her flower garden, and making homemade bread together. Yet, nothing compares with the feel of my grandmother’s hugs. They were the best and I always felt so safe and secure in her loving embrace. Let’s be honest, grandparents often get the best of the best. Maybe that’s actually the beauty of the relationship with grandmothers – loving and hugging (and spoiling) and loving some more.
Honestly, the absolute hardest part of all this recent social distancing is the loss of human connection … the loss of human touch. And with attempting to keep grandparents physically safe, many are feeling to loss of these grandma snuggles.
Emotionally, I find the release of the new board book Grandma Snuggles, written by Glenys Nellist and beautifully illustrated by Gail Yerrill, to be perfect timing. Written in a simplistic, rhyming text from the perspective of eight little animals and one small child, this adorable book reminds us of the wonderful gift God has given us in grandmothers.
There has never been a better time for a reminder of the importance of grandma snuggles, and this book certainly celebrates Grandma in a very special way! So whether you are able to cuddle up and read this book together in person or find yourself reading “together” via a loving FaceTime call, this book is a great way to show a little love in the midst of some crazy times!
Be sure to also check out some of the other books by Glenys Nellist – I absolutely LOVE her book The Wonder That is You, which you can read about here.
All reviews are completely my own and I only recommend books I truly believe are worthy of sharing with others. (Believe me, I read many books I do not recommend, which means you won’t see me writing about them!)
