Synopsis: In GRANDPA’S BARN a curious child embarks on a sensory adventure, discovering the sights, sounds and wonders of farm life with Grandpa. Each stall holds a delightful surprise, leading to a heartwarming final discovery. A timeless tale of love, curiosity, and the joy of shared moments!

I dedicated Grandpa's Barn to my grandpa, Anton Reiser. As a child, I loved exploring his barn, playing in his hayloft, and finding surprises in the stalls, such as baby piglets and kittens.

I'm thankful to two amazing authors who read Grandpa's Barn in advance and wrote blurbs for the back cover, Alice McGinty and Lori Degman. Here is what they wrote:

“This engaging evocative story will immerse you in the sights, sounds, and smells of GRANDPA’S BARN as well as the warmth of his love.” Alice McGinty, author of BATHE THE CAT and A STORY FOR SMALL BEAR.

“Told with vivid sensory details and rich-toned illustrations, this sweet story of a girl, her grandpa, and their shared love of his barn will pull you in and warm your heart!” Lori Degman, author of LIKE A GIRL, COCK-A-DOODLE-OOPS! and TRAVEL GUIDE FOR MONSTERS.

How you can help an author with their publication journey:
Buy their books.
Tell your family and friends about their books.
Ask your library to add their books on their shelves.
Write book reviews on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Good Reads' websites.
