Girly and Scamp can’t imagine what has come over their once ordinary Gran after her trip to the green island of Ireland where she kissed the Blarney Stone. Whatever it is though, they sure do like it! Now Gran tells them silly stories she swears are true. When she does her chores, she twists and twirls, sings, and swirls cheerfully. But this Gran isn’t their normal Gran, and Gramps, Daddy, and Momma are worried. Accompanied by the bright, lively illustrations of Elif Balta Parks, Gran Kissed the Blarney Stone is a magical, lyrical, witty tale of a Gran’s transformation, and a family’s love and acceptance. Check out our accompanying activity book, Gran Kissed the Blarney Stone Activity Book for Kids: Coloring, Puzzles, Word Searches and More! Available on Amazon.com Hard cover and signed copies available at www.booksendwriting.com "[Gran Kissed the Blarney Stone] feels so immersive. It's really well put together. I appreciated how well designed it is, near professional in the look and feel of the illustrations, the balance of text and pictures and the way the flow of the content moves. It is formatted in a very lovely way. The adventures that Gran goes on and tells us about are a lot of fun. There are a lot of great stories. It is a really exciting and intriguing narrative full of twists and turns. It does feel like traveling by opening the book and hearing from a beloved family member. This is a great one for families to read in preparation for a trip or could bring out good questions and conversations about some family stories that exist amongst family members as well." Very fun! --- Writer's Digest Reviewer 1
