A grandmother’s treasure-filled purse, first-day-of-school nerves, and the beauty of family make room for heartfelt listening. This Vanessa Brantley-Newton Tonie brings together Grandma’s Purse and other stories, along with poetry that explores the many ways girls see themselves and their world.

From discovering what Grandma Mimi has tucked inside her bag to following Vanessa as she introduces her classmates to her true self, these selections find meaning in everyday moments. Family connections, individuality, and self-acceptance run through the collection, with distinct characters and experiences to get to know.

Picture sharing a story on the sofa, then pausing to talk about a special family keepsake or what it feels like to be new at school. The mix of storytelling and poetry offers different starting points for conversation, whether your little listener wants to talk about a favorite relative, a big feeling, or something that makes them uniquely themselves.
