Wonderful book for anyone who has a child in their life.

As a nana I am already doing many of the author’s suggestions for my daughter and my granddaughter of 1 year. I did learn many things however. I now have many new ideas and goals. I did shed tears as the crispy duck was remembered. I pray the prayer all grandparents pray, that I can live to see my Angel grown up. Don’t miss this.
