Stories are powerful. They have the ability to captivate imaginations, illuminate truth, and help us see through the eyes of others and stories help us teach children kindness and compassion.
Grandma Snackie's Stories puts the power of storytelling in your hands. This collection of relatable tales is designed to empower you to walk alongside your children or students as you discuss and unpack valuable lessons together.
Author Jackie Nowlin-Grandma Snackie herself-humbly offers fourteen creative and engaging stories that lay out real-life scenarios children face. Children will be encouraged to consider the situations the characters face and what they might do if they were walking in those shoes. Through intentionality and discussion, you-whether a parent, grandparent, or teacher-will guide them as they discover and learn to incorporate the values of empathy, kindness, and resilience.

“A darling book with captivating story themes and engaging illustrations, each story written by Grandma Snackie and originally read to her children as they were growing up and navigating the important lessons of childhood. The themes still stand today and importantly highlight lessons like inclusion, perseverance, and kindness to all. There are intentional discussion questions to engage your child or children after reading the story to keep the wheels in their formidable minds turning as they imagine and learn. And in true Jackie style, all proceeds go to support underserved children in support of their education and necessary resources. A definite must-buy for story time and in support of multiple worthy causes!.”
