Official synopsis Publisher
A great grandma imparts the wisdom gained over her one hundred years to an eager little girl in this tender picture book tribute to family and living a long, purposeful, beautiful life, perfect for fans of When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree.
Baby girl Jasmine heads south with her dad to join the family in celebrating Great Grandma Caroline’s 100th birthday. Jasmine knows one hundred years is a very long time. It’s longer than a goldfish lives, or a hamster—or even a dog! When she gets to Great Grandma Caroline’s house, she asks: how did she get to be so old?
According to Caroline, living such a long, hearty life takes a heap of patience, a dollop of determination, and a whole lot of faith—just like learning to skip stones on the lake. And the most important thing is surrounding yourself with family and those who love you.
