41 Uses for a Grandma -- Grandma is much more than just the matriarch of the family. Whether she's keeping time during a race, building the perfect toy, turning the pages while you play your music, or just warming your hands, there are many reasons why a grandmother is great. Breaking traditional stereotypes, this book encourages children to images their grandmother in a host of contemporary situations: grandmas as sports enthusiasts, yoga instructors, and e-pals.

Amanda Haley holds a B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She lives in Ohio with her husband and their golden retriever, Sally.

Harriet Ziefert often writes about grandparents, as it evokes both her fond memories of her own grandparents and her present experience as a grandmother of four.
