| Publisher Description: Tuesdays with Jack is a heartwarming memoir of introspection and observation, a humorous look into a family with the kind of enchanting moments and unflinching devotion, blended with mess and exhaustion, that we can all relate to. Jack's batteries are running out in his head. But only for songs. Through the inventive eyes of this little boy and his grandmother, we are given insight into their world together, with the fun and wonderment of two lives that are full of beautiful instants, floppy bits, and intimate scenes that make your heart stop. This is the story of Buba and Jack making whipped cream and making magic, a captivating chronicle permeated by the kind of intense love that can only be given by a grandmother. |
Contributor Bio(s): Daniel, Pauline: - Pauline Daniel loves being a grandmother. She describes herself as a Baby Boomer Buba and like most things of her generation-it's big in her life. This book began as a Facebook post every Tuesday after spending the day with her grandson, Jack. Tuesdays have been their day since he was a baby. When he started talking, he came out with the most brilliant, articulate and imaginative queries and comments. She had to share them. Before long, Tuesdays with Jack had a following. Her readers suggested she should share the stories with the world. On the day Jack went to Kindergarten, Pauline started to write. It came together in this little book. In addition to being a first-time author, Pauline Daniel is the owner of Coaching Connections, a life-coaching practice, serving women. She calls herself the How to Follow Your Heart Coach, which is the way she lives her life. Pauline and her husband Jim live in a small mountain town in the Kootenays in southeastern British Columbia. Jack and his family live nearby. |
