Floella Benjamin's delightful picture book follows a mixed-heritage girl and her two grandmothers — one from Trinidad, one from England. A companion book, My Two Grandads, came next. Both are great summer reads to share with your kids!
Stories like My Two Grannies give young readers a warm way to see their own mixed families reflected on the page. Sharing books that celebrate two cultures, two languages, or two sides of a family can open up conversations about identity at home. Pair it with My Two Grandads for a fun, family-friendly reading set this summer.
