Today's grandparents aren't content to sit in their rockers doing needlepoint or whittling wood - modern grandparents are healthy and active. Grandma may be traveling the world, writing a book, or taking dance lessons and Grandpa might be camping with the grandkids, playing a golf tournament, or skydiving! Nana may have entered the family by marrying Grampa later in life, or Pop-Pop may be a beloved family friend who's always there when someone needs him. Families are finding that the meaning of "grandparent" has changed tremendously but that grandparents continue to be treasured members of our families.

Kids, a Primer is a collection of a grandfather's musings on the way his (now grown) children are raising their children and being glad about being a grandparent rather than a new parent with young children (again). While Ungar is convinced that grandparents could do a better job raising children if they had the energy, he is grateful that he, in fact, no longer has the energy.

Fourteen years ago, Mike Milligan learned he would become a grandfather for the first time. He was surprised to find that there was little or no information available on what it means to be a grandfather, how to make the most of the experience, and how to be the best grandfather possible. Sure, there were shelves of books dedicated to grandmothers - all with cuddly covers depicting spring bouquets or gentle little lambs. But there was not a single book that spoke to him, a 64-year-old grandfather-to-be. It struck him that there were countless other grandfathers out there experiencing this same feeling of neglect.

A response to all those grandmother books with flowers and puppies on the cover, Grandma Rules is a book for the hip, baby boomer grandma who realizes that after all the work she put into her own kids, she can take a break and have fun with her grandkids. A perfect gift for the greatest grandmothers you know, this book is laugh-out-loud funny while offering useful insights and tips on how to embrace the world’s greatest job.

Neste audiolivro cheio de humor, Maria Heloísa da Silva Ramos e Luiz Briquet falam sobre a delícia de vovozar, isto é, ser avó ou avô. Apresentando as mais divertidas e emocionantes situações, eles ilustram o dia a dia de uma avó louca por seus netos, que dança, canta, conversa, se emociona e até ri do novo desenho na parede feito por eles. Afinal, amor incondicional é isso mesmo, não é?

Oggi i nonni sono più importanti che nel passato: vivono di più e in buona salute e quindi si allungano gli anni di vita condivisa con le generazioni più giovani; le relazioni con i nipoti diventano più strette e affettuose, fondandosi su un rapporto di cura che permette anche alle madri di lavorare fuori casa; infine i nonni rappresentano spesso un ancoraggio sicuro nei momenti di crisi e cambiamento della famiglia, come una separazione, un divorzio, una migrazione.

Vovô Chan e vovó Marina viviam em São Paulo quando sua filha decidiu voltar para a Coreia, terra de seus antepassados, levando os dois netos, Arthur e Allan. Saudoso e entristecido, Chan começou a retratar situações do dia a dia em aquarelas delicadas, acompanhadas de textos escritos por Marina. Publicados no Instagram, os posts eram apenas um projeto familiar. Um jeito original de preservar a conexão com os netos e, ao mesmo tempo, restaurar no avô o entusiasmo pela vida.
