Be Love. Be Patience. Be Curious. Be Approachable. Be Supported.
Being a grandparent to a transgender child may feel isolating. Generational differences can make it challenging for you to understand what your grandchild is going through, and you might not have the vocabulary to discuss it with them or have peers who are experiencing something similar. At the same time, your love, understanding, and acceptance will play a huge role in the flourishing of your trans grandchild.
With up-to-date research on gender identity, letters and stories from grandparents on the same journey, resources for transgender youth and their families, and a selection of online and local support groups, this book provides uplifting, educational guidance on how to support your grandchild - and yourself!

This is a very helpful resource for grandparents of transgender children, that will help to foster understanding and answer many of the questions that arise. I’m hopeful that this will lead to greater compassion and acceptance among families - thank you, Janna, for writing this book.

"A Grand Love" by Janna Barkin is a beautifully written memoir that offers a profound and inspiring look at the journey of raising a transgender child. With its authentic narrative, emotional depth, and educational value, the book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the power of love and acceptance in the face of adversity. Barkin’s story is not only a tribute to her child but also a testament to the strength and resilience of families navigating similar paths.
