A lovely book in which the authors, grandmothers and grandfathers who teach, talk about their experience of their new role in the family: 'The love of a grandparent is a simple love, which arrives without asking permission and settles down inside you'; 'Without realising it, my grandchildren have challenged me to do something I thought I was no longer capable of'; 'That vision of my daughter, now a mother, seemed to me the most eloquent and indisputable representation of human beauty'. These and other phrases show how the authors experience and enjoy their new roles as grandparents with a multitue of meanings, experiences and emotions: stopping being a teacher and becoming a grandparent, being a teacher and a grandparent at the same time, forgetting about teaching and throwing oneself fully into being a grandparent.
