A Grandparents' Gift: The Comfort of Belonging

The Secret to Long-Distance Storytime

December 03, 20252 min read

Introduction

✨ Are you a long-distance grandparent trying to stay connected to your grandkids?
This video takes you behind the scenes of the Grandma & Me Storytime Bundle — a unique storytelling experience designed to make virtual storytime fun, interactive, and unforgettable.

As a long-distance Grammy myself, I know the ache of being far away… and the joy of finding meaningful ways to stay close. When I first wrote What the Dickens?!?!: The Tale of a Rascally Pup, I wanted to create a story to spark curiosity, introduce new vocabulary, and encourage kids to participate — even over FaceTime or Zoom.

In this video, I’m sharing:
💜 The personal story behind the book
💜 How losing my job of 32 years opened the door to becoming an author
💜 How my grandmother’s storytelling shaped everything I do
💜 Why I created the Storytime Bundle for long-distance grandparents
💜 What’s included and how it transforms virtual storytime
💜 How it helps kids ask questions, stay engaged, and feel confident

If you want deeper connection with your grandchildren — whether they're toddlers or early readers — this bundle gives you a shared experience that becomes a family tradition.
