This book was published during the pandemic-a time when many children were not able to visit their grandparents. The lack of cultural empathy, rising to a state of civil unrest, have affected children emotionally, socially, and academically.
Eleven years ago, during the time when the simple joys of life were taken for granted, Nadia Galloway co-authored this book with her four-year-old son, Benjamin Galloway, as a gift that was presented to his grandparents on Grandparents' Day. The authors decided to publish this book, eleven years later, because of the heartwarming feelings they experienced together while reminiscing about the fondest days of Benjamin's visits to his Nana and Buddy's house.
Nana and Buddy's House was written as a celebration of the unique bond between children and their grandparents. Journey with Benjamin to his Nana and Buddy's house through:
- Vivid colorful crayon art illustrations
- Engaging questions to encourage comprehension
- Reinforcements of Preschool learning through sweet songs
- Prayers shared with his Nana and Buddy
This book is, also, an introduction to the magnificent world of art used to tell a beautiful story and bring the dreams of children to life. As we celebrate diversity, there's nothing more colorful and diverse than our first crayon set. The remarkable world of art is experienced at an early age through the varied crayon colored illustrations in this story.
This book is sure to be a favorite, both day and night, as children will add their newest classic literary favorite to their collections. What an inspiring way to introduce cultural diversity, lifelong learning lessons, and a remarkable love for grandparents!
