LOVE Grandma's Hands! Have no grandchildren of my own, so haven't decided if I'm going to put it in a neighborhood lending library, take it to our local library or just what. I just know people are going to LOVE it!!!

My Grandmother's Hands is a wonderful book that I am sharing with the kids of musicians that rehearse in my studio - getting to know who Bill Withers was - and is to our musical world. All are friends of Playing for Change
