Just in time for Grandparent’s Day on September 8, Palmetto Publishing has released a charming children’s book that highlights the special bond between grandchildren and their grandpas. How to Manipulate Grandpa: A Toddler’s Guide to Living the Good Life is co-authored by four-and-a-half-year-old Eleanor G. and her grandpa, Tad Druart, a proud member of Knights of Columbus Council 8156. This humorous and heartwarming book is a must-have for every Knight and their family.
The book is a delightful guide for toddlers and young children, teaching them how to build loving relationships with their grandpas through playful manipulation. Illustrated by Nikki Boetger, this book is perfect for families who enjoy laughing at relatable toddler antics and for grandparents who love to spoil their grandchildren.
“I think every Knight I have watched engage with their grandchildren willfully allows these manipulation tactics to thrive,” said Druart. “It’s a battle of wits and wills and most grandpas are unarmed.”
How to Manipulate Grandpa is designed to help kids, and their grandparents discover the joy of reading together. The authors believe that reading with family is not only entertaining but also a way to learn, grow, and connect with each other. Eleanor shares her tried-and-true techniques for bending grandpa to her will while showing him the love and affection he craves. With special insights from her brother and cousin, Eleanor reveals how to manipulate grandpa without triggering mom and dad, use grandpa to soften grandma, and wrap grandpa around her finger.
This book makes a great gift for Grandparent’s Day, offering both laughter and valuable bonding time. It’s a wonderful addition to any family’s bookshelf and a perfect way to celebrate the special relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
The book is a unique collaboration between granddaughter and grandpa, aimed at helping kids live their best lives by loving and manipulating their grandpas. Eleanor is a loving and energetic granddaughter to her grandpa Tad Druart, better known by his grandpa name, “Toots.” Druart is a marketing and PR professional from Austin, TX, and a dedicated member of Knights of Columbus Council 8156 at St Catherine of Sienna.
Make sure to pick up a copy of How to Manipulate Grandpa: A Toddler’s Guide to Living the Good Life at your favorite online bookstore and enjoy the laughter and love it brings to your family. Happy Grandparent’s Day!
Druart will donate a portion of the September proceeds to the Knight’s of Columbus 8156 Central Texas Charity Works for use by the council.
