"Adorable! Bravo to Michelle on this beautifully inspired book—Grandpa's Blessings. This little book will bring a smile to every old Grandpa's wrinkly face and will invite tears of joy to trickle down from their eyes with memories. As a Grandpa myself—or Papaw as I'm called—this is a priceless book to share with each and every grandchild no matter the age. Every single word is so true, and the talented artwork of the animals will keep the attention of every little reader. Michelle summed up my thoughts about my grandchildren when she penned, 'You bless me every single day. I hope I bless you, too. Because there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you.' This is not only a gorgeous book, but it will invite a closer bond to my grandchildren each time I sit and read it to them. I'm a blessed Grandpa indeed.” —Del Duduit, award-winning author of many books, including Sports Shorts and Birdies, Bogeys & Blessings
