Nancy Downing and Mary May Larmoyeux have just released The Grand
Connection: 365 Ways to Connect with Your Grandchild's Heart
.  This handy 95-
page book will help grandparents intentionally build relationships with their legacy—
whether they live across the street or around the world.

By choosing one or two
Grand ideas each month, you’ll be well on your way to being a
part of your grandchild’s life—leaving a legacy of special memories and spiritual
stories.

Organized by month,
The Grand Connection includes age-appropriate, easy-to-use
ideas that will help you and your grandchild:

  • Make lasting memories.
  • Create a spiritual inheritance.
  • Improve heart-to-heart communication.
  • Strengthen intergenerational relationships.

The Grand Connection helps bridge the communication gap as generations learn
from one another. It’s filled with creative ideas, getting-to-know-you activities, and
easy-to-make games (paper and electronic). There’s something for every personality
style—from the very outgoing grandparent or grandchild to ones who are introverted
and reflective.
