Sundays with Grandma Blitz

Children’s Book

Date Published: January 3, 2025

Publisher: MindStir Media

Sundays with Grandma tells the story of an ailing Grandmother who spends
her last years in life fully present for her Grandson while cultivating
within him an enduring hope and optimism for the beauty of life. Inspired by
true events, the book is based on the author’s observations of the playful
relationship between his son and his mother during a period when she was
battling and ultimately succumbed to breast cancer.

Told through the eyes of young grandson Noah, this is a story recounting
the memories Noah had with his loving Grandma Sherry during their weekly
Sunday visits. These Sundays are filled with delicious food, silly fun times
with Grandma, and important life lessons. While Noah notices that Grandma is
getting weaker and weaker with each visit, that doesn’t stop their special
Sundays together. Noah realizes when he is older that Grandma’s important
lessons have taught him not only about the beauty of life but also how to
accept some of its most difficult moments.

Written for kids of all ages, Sundays with Grandma delicately uses the
beauty of nature to remind kids who might be experiencing loss and grief
that their lives are just beginning to blossom, with so much beauty and
growth to look forward to in the days to come.
