In this charming picture book, author Floella Benjamin tells a story centered on a mixed-heritage heroine and her two grandmothers — one from Trinidad, the other from England. A companion title, My Two Grandads, followed. Both make wonderful summer reads to enjoy with your children!
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.
