grandparents the world over anchor us in love

Our Grandparents: A Global Album, by Maya Ajmera, Sheila Kinkade, and Cynthia Pon
published in 2010 by Charlesbridge

What’s more dear than the connection between a grandparent and grandchild?

This photoessay carries us around the world, letting us peek in on these special bonds from…

Tibet…

…to Chile…

…as well as in many cultures within the U.S.

It’s a great collection to browse through, to entice children toward a big view of the world and its peoples who are so different, yet in many ways just the same.

Dozens of colorful photos and extremely brief text — essentially just photo captions — make this feel mostly like a global scrapbook album, accessible to children about 18 months and older.
