Keith & Eleanor
This is a Great Book! This is a great book - especially for grandchildren that live a long distance away. Everyone can relate to this book: we love it, our children love it, and our grandchildren love it. -Keith and Eleanor O'Gorman. San Antonio, Texas Read more

Grandpa Skypes Baby Ben This children’s book, on its face about technology, is also more broadly about family members who are separated by geography and how they find ways to know and love each other. Its gentle pace, quiet humor, and Mr. Rogers-style welcoming tone make it a good book for reading aloud and discussing with young children. The artwork is delicious, and learning about special places in New York and San Francisco an added bonus. Our daughters would have loved it when they were small!
