Honor Grandpa’s heart and his endless support with this charmingly illustrated gift book from the New York Times bestselling author and artist behind Because I Had a Teacher and Because of You, Dad.

Because of grandpas, we have roots to grow, favorite memories to share, and a friend just when we need it most. Grandpas honor our mistakes and applaud our bravery—all with a ready smile and a strong hand to hold.

With charming hand-drawn illustrations of everyday moments shared between a big bear and a little bear, this heartwarming gift book is a reflection of Grandpa’s friendship and care. Timeless and thoughtful, every sentiment thanks Grandpa for his wisdom, his encouragement, and his love.

From the same creators of The New York Times bestselling Because I Had a Teacher, Because of You, Grandpa is a honoring tribute to Grandpa for Father’s Day, Grandparents Day, the holidays, a birthday, or just because.
