The title is perfect, the story endearing and the illustrations are vibrant and warm. It's a children's book but adults will love reading it aloud to children.

Pictures of Vanita and her husband, Jim, who is Grampy and has MS, in the back of the book also show their six grandchildren;

To give you a hint of the rhyming story, here is what is written by the photo of Vanita and Bill:

Grampy and Grammy

Grampy can't walk.
But he's a White Knight for sure.
He rode in to get me
Like the knights of yore.
His horse is different,
It's electric and steel.
But, for me, his machine
Is really a wonderful steed.

This is Vanita's fifth book. To see her others, which appear to be equally interesting for children and adults alike, at www.mygrampy.net
