“Several children’s books focus on children with their gay parents. Few, if any, however, deal with their gay grandfathers. Our family owned every book about gay dads, but it’s not the same. Children need to see themselves in stories... that is why we created this book.” - Julie Schanke Lyford

The Cliff Notes

This book is based on an incident that happened to my daughter Katy. It is filled with dozens of colorful original images and tells the story of a first-grade girl with a lisp who is always misunderstood by her classmates and teacher. One day when Katy talks about her two gay grampas, she becomes frustrated when the teacher thinks she means grampa and gramma.

With the help of her big sister, Katy is able to let her teacher know what she is trying to say. Finally, because she has such love for her grampas, who just so happen to be gay, and so much trust in their understanding her, she unexpectedly shines when introducing them at a classroom party for grandparents.
