What does it really mean to be different?
When Grandpa watches a group of children gather for baseball, he notices that one boy is repeatedly left standing on the sidelines. John wants to play, but the other children overlook him because he has only one hand.
Through a simple conversation with Grandpa, the children discover an important lesson: being different does not mean being less capable, less valuable, or less deserving of friendship.
Written in gentle, rhyming verse, Grandpa Says: Volume I encourages young readers to look beyond appearances, treat others with respect, and understand that everyone has unique abilities. Grandpa shares the inspiring story of major league pitcher Jim Abbott, showing that determination and talent are not defined by physical limitations.
A heartfelt story about kindness, inclusion, friendship, acceptance, and believing in others, Grandpa Says: Volume I is a meaningful read for children, parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone who wants to help young readers understand the importance of treating every person with dignity.
Because sometimes the most important lesson isn't about winning the game, it's about making sure everyone gets a chance to play.
