Synopsis
The New knows softness.
The Old knows life can be hard.
The New holds on.
The Old is learning to let go.
First-time author Benjamin Fox uses simple words to explore the vastly deep themes of life and love as a new baby and an old grandfather prepare to meet each other for the first time. Illustrated by award-winning and nationally recognized still-life artist Elizabeth Robbins, The Great and the Grand celebrates the beautiful balance of age and youth, experience and innocence, the Old and the New.

From the Back Cover
"Benjamin Fox's lovely and poignant book The Great and the Grand lends itself well to bedtime readings. Simple language and Elizabeth Robbins' softly textured, luminous illustrations depict the importance of extended family in a quiet yet meaningful way. Grandparents and parents may find themselves tearing up over this book, but children will enjoy the story and a chance to talk about their own grandparents. The Great and the Grand is a uniquely evocative book of beauty and substance."
