Presenting a new series of children’s books…true tales from an author known to her readers simply as “Nana T”.
In all the world, Nana T loves nothing more than spending time with her grandchildren, especially in her sprawling backyard garden, large enough to be a jungle in a child’s eyes. This is where they met “Hops” the tree frog. They also have another favorite place to explore: the beach!
It’s also the home of “Grumpy the Great Blue Heron”. These books are a gift to her grandchildren, but Nana T’s sharing them with parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren everywhere.
Illustrations are from the very talented hands and creative spirit of Kim Sponaugle.
