40 Uses for a Grandpa -- Grandpa is much more than just the patriarch of the family. Whether he'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 grandfather is great. Breaking traditional stereotypes, this book encourages children to images their grandfather in a host of contemporary situations: grandpas as chefs, nurses, and cheerleaders.

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.
