Grandma's not the wrinkled kind, she's the special kind instead. She wears trainers with yellow laces and she laughs very loud. She remembers lots of things like milk carts and special songs. But some days, her remembering is not so good. This is a moving account of a girl's relationship with her grandmother.
A tender family story that offers a gentle window into the issue of aging and memory loss for young readers. Grandma loves teatime--and so does her granddaughter--from picking out a special cup, to brewing the tea, to sharing stories at the table. But lately, Grandma seems forgetful. She doesn't always remember to turn off the faucet when filling the teakettle. Sometimes she even confuses her granddaughter's name. How one little girl helps her grandmother remember their special ritual makes for a heartwarming story that will strike a chord with any family coping with elderly relatives who suffer from memory loss.

The book Grandmas Hands: A Portrait in Time was inspired by the life of Rachel Bryants paternal grandmother (whose parents were slaves) as well as her own observations of blatant discriminatory and degrading practices inflicted upon those once thought to be inferior. This beautifully written book, consisting of twenty poems mainly reflecting life as it was in Americas Jim Crow South, takes the reader on a powerful journey from slavery to present-day society. Through her unique and eloquent style, Rachel Bryant manages to capture and convey the thoughts and feelings of characters so cleverly portrayed throughout this provocative and awe-inspiring book. While the majority of poems were written for mature audiences, readers will find several poems that are appropriate for all.
