Synopsis

Sometimes Grandmas Swear is a laugh-out-loud picture book for grown-ups that cleverly disguises itself as a children's story. Through a series of relatable family mishaps, awkward moments, and everyday frustrations, Grandma occasionally lets a colorful word slip under her breath only to be caught by her Grandson. As the story unfolds, the language escalates along with the situations, creating a running joke that many adults, parents, grandparents, and anyone navigating modern family dynamics will appreciate.  Despite its charming illustrations and storybook style, this is definitely not a book your child should bring for show and tell.

About this title

About the Author

Kimberly J. Monson is a first-time author with a slightly twisted sense of humor and a talent for finding the funny in everyday life. Her debut book looks innocent enough to sit on a children's bookshelf...until you're a few pages in. Written for adults who appreciate clever humor, unexpected laughs, and a healthy dose of irreverence, it's a reminder that not every picture book is meant for little ears. The idea for this book came to Kim while sitting in her deer stand during a particularly slow day of hunting. She rarely goes anywhere without a sketchbook, and when inspiration strikes, she starts creating. As the story unfolded, each new page made her laugh out loud, and more ideas kept pouring in. She has always joked with her daughter, "I am so funny," and now she has the book to prove it. (She says please purchase it to prove her point)  Creativity has always been at the center of Kim's life. As a full-time photographer and artist, she has spent decades capturing meaningful moments, dreaming up imaginative concepts, and turning ordinary scenes into memorable works of art. When she's not behind the camera or working on her next creative project, you'll likely find her spending time with her grandchildren (who she promises she does not swear around), enjoying the woods and trying to avoid poison ivy, which she considers one of nature's greatest design flaws. This may be Kim's first book, but if you're still laughing by the last page, it probably won't be her last. She firmly believes sarcasm is a coping skill, laughter is one of life's greatest survival tools, and some stories are simply too funny not to share. Somewhere along the way, Kim realized that the simple charm of children's picture books could tell stories adults might appreciate even more, especially when mixed with sarcasm, real life, and the words that got her cousin's mouth washed out with Irish Spring.
