2013 SELAH Award winner, Children's category.
My Grandma and Me is the book every grandmother wants to share with her toddler-age grandchildren. Each devotion includes a scripture, a rhyme explaining the theme of the verse, and an interactive song or prayer. In addition to the fun yet faith-filled words, children will enjoy the sweet full-color art throughout the book that has a nostalgic tone for Grandma. The book closes with additional scriptures grandma can use to pass along her faith: the Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments, 23rd Psalm, Beatitudes, and a special prayer for her grandchildren. This delightful book will not only become Grandmother's favorite, but it will leave a lasting and important impression on the faith development of many toddlers.

The introduction of the book also gives grandmothers who are far-away from their grandkids tips on using the book via phone or Skype.

Chapter One

Rhyming Devotions

God Made It All

The Bible Says: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

God is great! He said the words
that made the flowers and the birds.
He made the moon to shine at night.
He made the sun to give us light.

He made the stars up in the sky.
He made the mountains, big and high.
He made the land. He made the sea.
He made it all for you and me.


Sing with Me:

Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

Lord, you made the birds that fly,
and you made the big, blue sky.
Rivers, flowers, grass, and trees,
butterflies and honeybees.
Thank you, God, for all I see.
Thank you, God, for making me.
