New children’s author Karen Joy Palmerini’s beautifully penned debut picture book, Wednesdays with Gammy: The Anticipation, is a very special book about the very special relationship between grandmothers and granddaughters. Hers is a bright, endearing tale that crosses generations; it gets mothers thinking about-and sharing-their own memories of being little girls and how much fun they had with their grandmothers. As one bright-eyed, little girl can’t help but delight in the excitement of going to her grandparents each week, she’s forced to manage the younger siblings she leaves behind-and promise to bring them each a treat-as she anxiously waits by the window with her mother.
