I’m thrilled to share my next picture book, BIKING WITH GRANDMA written by Chris Santella!
🌟🚲🌟
Out on March 15! Pre-order now - link in my bio 👆

This has been an absolute joy to work on. I felt like I was able to join Sam and their grandma on their travels around the world, seeing places like Vietnam, Costa Rica, Japan, France and many of the US National Parks.
Big thanks to Jody Mosley, Heather Kelly, Sara Sproull and the whole @abramskids team!

More about the book:
Sam and their intrepid grandma bike around the world together in this sweet intergenerational adventure!

Grandma Rose's job is having amazing adventures around the globe and writing about them. Her next trip is extra-special—because this time, Sam is tagging along! Together Sam and Grandma Rose will bike and explore national parks, villages, and sprawling cities, from bear sightings in Alberta to sloths in Costa Rica, and from gelato in Italy to bánh mi in Vietnam.

Writing home in postcards, Sam details tidbits about each location's language, culture, and natural beauty. Sam soon finds out that Grandma is full of surprises—she’s up for any challenge, and wow, can she shred down those trails. Pedaling side-by-side, Grandma Rose will teach Sam to be brave and embrace new experiences both on a bike and in life. Whether trekking up majestic mountains or simply gazing up at the night sky, Sam discovers that the journey is not about the places you go—it’s the moments you share, big and small.

What’s one of your, or your littles’, favorite activity to do with the grandparents?

🍚Mai current favorite activity with mai grandma is weekly family dinner nights. On Wednesdays, I stay over at mai parents house and mai Ba Ngoai cooks dinner (usually some type of Viet food! ❤️), and on Fridays, the husband and I cook Friday Family Dinner for her and the rest of the family.

💛 I loved seeing so many of you connect to yesterday’s intergenerational read~ so today I’m sharing two more multigenerational books: one featuring Grandpa, and one Grandma. Two books with two very different tones and themes~ but both filled to the brim with love!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*All From a Walnut* @ammi.joan.paquette @felicita.sala | A touching story about family roots, immigration, love, and the cycle life~ When Emilia finds a walnut, Grandpa tells her the story of how he crossed the ocean to a new home, with only one small bag and a walnut in his pocket, and planted the nut when he arrived in the new country. Grandpa teaches Emilia how to plant and cultivate her own seed into a sapling~

But as her own sapling starts to thrive, Grandpa’s life begins to slow~ until soon it is time for Emilia to say goodbye. Through her own budding walnut tree, Emilia will learn how to cherish the memory of her Grandpa, and carry him forever in her heart. | COMING MARCH 22, 2022

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*Biking with Grandma* Chris Santella @vivienneto | Join Sam and Grandma on an epic bike ride around the world together in this exhilarating intergenerational adventure! Grandma is a travel journalist, and for her next trip, she is taking Sam with her on her next trip to bike around the world. Through a series of postcards home to parents, you’ll get to join Sam and Grandma Rose on their adventures!

Traveling together, Sam will realize that the most imprint part about traveling is the moments you share with your loved ones, no matter how big or small. | COMING MARCH 15, 2022

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Thank you to @abramskids for sharing these family-filled reads with me! Flip throughs and links to order in mai stories.

At its heart, it's about that magical time as a child when you believe that anything is possible and that no dream is ever too big ❤️...

If you never hear from me again it’ll be because I’ve run away and started a new life in Hobbiton as a cheesemaker.
