A Grand Love: Stories for Grandparents of Transgender Grandchildren -- Janna Barkin, Paperback

Be Love. Be Patience. Be Curiosity. Be Approachable. Be Supported.

Being a grandparent to a transgender child may feel isolating. Generational differences can make it challenging for you to understand what your grandchild is going through, and you might not have the vocabulary to discuss it with them or have peers who are experiencing something similar. At the same time, your love, understanding, and acceptance will play a huge role in the flourishing of your trans grandchild.

With up-to-date research on gender identity, letters and stories from grandparents on the same journey, resources for transgender youth and their families, and a selection of online and local support groups, this book provides uplifting, educational guidance on how to support your grandchild - and yourself!
