Excited to give a peek into my picture book available July 14th, 2026:

My newest picture book Best Friends with Grandma is illustrated by the wonderful Amelia Grace Gossman.

What’s it about? Here’s how bookstores are summarizing:

A lyrical love letter to grandmas everywhere—filled with grace and wrapped in the magic of everyday moments.

“Grandma and I are best friends. But not just because her room is messy like mine. We’re best friends because…” Best Friends with Grandma is a heartwarming picture book that celebrates the quiet, everyday moments between grandmothers and grandchildren—the small gestures that leave a lasting imprint. More than just a giggly story, it’s a tribute to the unspoken, unwavering love passed down through generations.

Perfect for fans of Grandmother’s Promise by Amy June Bates, Thank You, Omu! by Oge Mora, and Lullaby Prayer by Tamara Bundy, this tender story radiates warmth, faith, and intergenerational connection.

Each page features a culturally diverse child and grandmother pair. It showcases the beautiful ways love and faith show up around the world—from shared chairs and off-key songs to secret snacks and soft-spoken wisdom.

Anchored by several thoughtfully-selected Bible verses, this lyrical book gently reveals how ordinary interactions can reflect love and truth. Whether it’s humming a hymn while baking or reading stories side-by-side, Best Friends with Grandma reminds readers that love is not only spoken—it’s lived.

Perfect for children ages 3–8, this book is a meaningful gift for Mother’s Day, Grandparents Day, baby showers, or any moment that calls for celebrating the love between generations.

Because sometimes the quietest moments speak the loudest about love.

Its companion BEST FRIENDS WITH GRANDPA, my 30th title, will arrive July 2027!
