Grandma Tabs & the Shoes That Tried Their Best

By Debbie Dee

Grandma Tabs & the Shoes That Tried Their Best is a heartwarming and funny rhyming picture book that celebrates kindness, creativity, and doing things with love-even when they're a little messy.

Meet Grandma Tabs, a charming paper doll grandmother whose shoes rarely match, whose recipes never follow the rules, and whose heart is always just the right size. In her cozy kitchen and joyful days, Grandma shows children that perfection isn't what makes life special-love is.

Through playful rhymes and gentle humor, young readers will discover that:

Mistakes can be beautiful

Kindness matters more than matching shoes

Love makes everything fit just right

Part of the beloved Paper Doll Series, this story encourages imagination, empathy, and confidence while reminding children (and grown-ups ) that life doesn't have to be neat to be wonderful.

Perfect for storytime, bedtime, classrooms, and gift-giving, Grandma Tabs is a comforting read that wraps readers in warmth-like a hug from a grandma who bakes crooked pies and loves with her whole heart.
