Grandma's Baby by Krystaelynne Sanders Diggs is cute book about a grandmother and her relationship with her granddaughter. The book reminded me of the fun relationships I had with all my grandparents. I believe Grandma's Baby would be a delightful read for any reading setting. I highly recommend this book!

Grandma’s baby is a heartwarming story of the amazing relationship between a child and their grandma. The story details the many ways in which the child and grandma spend time together - from singing and dancing, to watching horse races at the track! Grandma clearly instills a sense of fun into everything they do together, as well as a sense of responsibility and the encouragement to do your best no matter what. The art is bright and bubbly, and goes perfectly with the mood of the story. It’s always wonderful seeing Black children and families illustrated so cutely. Nicole Santos did a great job <3

This book is too long. The book rhymes quite well but it has no cadence which can make it a bit of a tongue twister to read. The illustrations are soft and colorful and will grab the reader. But younger kids may find it hard to sit through. I love the characters interaction with their grandmother and think the story is full of warm and full of home

My little boys and his grandma are very close. This book was so cute!! Reading a kids book on a kindle is not really a great format but I will have to buy the physical book for my moms house. Loved it! So sweet!

Heartwarming story about the special bond between a grandmother and grandson. I enjoyed the simple message, sweet words, and colorful illustrations. Young children would relate to the sweet words and the connection it holds. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

I absolutely adored this book. It is the definition of heartwarming, and I feel anyone with a close relationship with their grandparents will relate. It made me miss my grandma and feel thankful for my time with her.

I read it with my son, and he felt the same way. As soon as we were done, he asked if he could have a sleepover at his grandma's house soon.

A cute little rhyming book highlighting the special bond between a little boy and his grandmother. It shows readers the beautiful things that the grandmother and grandson can do together, and reminds us that even in today's high-tech, busy world, there is a very unique place for a grandmother's love, and the precious interactions between children and grandparents are to be treasured forever.

My Grandma's Baby by Krystaelynne Sanders Diggs is about a sweet young boy and the loving relationship he has with his grandma. The young boy relishes the feeling when his grandma calls him her "baby." The story rhymes of all the activities that bring them closer together, like talking, shopping, going to events, and dancing just to name a few.

I enjoyed seeing the relationship of the young boy and his grandmother play out through the care she provided and the activities they did together. The young boy was loving and sweet which are great qualities to model for children. The rhyming was consistent and complimented the story well. I loved the diversity of the characters and overall quality of the illustrations. I love it when children's books go all out with full-page illustrations and this book did not disappoint.

A sweet story with lovable characters, it sends a positive message that I endorse. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Grandma's baby is an amazing children's book, which reads like a lullaby (as it rhymes and is so nice to listen to). The illustrations are lovely and warm. The text is an ode to grandmotherhood and to the love between a kid and his grandma. It is extremely moving and will delight all kids, parents, and grandparents!

Thank you so much to booksgosocial and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review

This is such a sweet book, it really depicts how precious and important grandmas can be in a young child’s life and that treasuring this time is important, grandparents always have so much love for their grandchildren and I love that it was the focus of this book.

The little boy loved doing everything he can with his grandma and she was his favourite person and I really love how the story flowed. It was rhythmic which I love as they are so much fun to read with children, the illustrations were really sweet and the story was really lovely.

This is a great book for little ones and for parents to share exactly how important the grandparents are and that time is precious with them. Seriously was so sweet.

What an adorable book about how special grandmothers are. The rhyme is appealing, as are the delightful and colourful illustrations. In in my first year of being a grandmother so this especially appealed to me! Definitely a book worth sharing.

I loved this book so much! The colorful illustrations and fun rhyming are very engaging!

My grandmas lived in other states and died when I was young, so I never got the opportunity to make these kinds of memories.

I have made sure my mom and son spend lots of time together! This book reminds me so much of their special bond!

A must buy for any grandma!

Such a heartwarming, fun and relatable read! This book made me smile, thinking about my own grandma. I love the rhymes and the illustrations. I would love to see this book in my local libraries and public schools, as it would connect with young readers. As the description says, it is a beautiful tribute to grandmothers and the meaningful experiences they provide.

* I read children’s books to my smart service dog.

His favorite book yet, he loves his grandma so much, he enjoyed that whole book he talked and got excited about everything. He says 5 starts and yes other kids should read it. He loved when he did the same things with his grandma, like eating, trips, etc

This is a heartwarming rhyming story about a little boy and his relationship with his grandma. The two are very close, and the little boy talks about all the ways his grandma takes care of him and has fun with him. My 4-year-old twin girls enjoyed this book, especially since their grandma is visiting from Ohio right now! They loved the bright illustrations.
