Because of You, Grandma

Illustrated by Natalie Russell
Celebrate Grandma’s kindness, support, and generous heaps of love with this charmingly illustrated gift book from the New York Times bestselling author and artist behind Because I Had a Teacher and Because of You, Dad.

Because of grandmas, we have traditions to share, time to explore, and our very own cheering section too. Grandmas help shape us and they see the best in us—all with a soft smile and a warm hug ready to give.

With adorable hand-drawn illustrations of everyday moments shared between a big bear and a little bear, this endearing gift book is a reflection of Grandma’s dedication and love. Timeless and thoughtful, every sentiment thanks Grandma for the lessons, care, and tenderness she gives that makes life so sweet.

From the same creators of The New York Times bestselling Because I Had a Teacher, Because of You, Grandma is a honoring tribute to Grandma for Mother’s Day, Grandparents Day, the holidays, a birthday, or just because.
