What is National Grandparents Day?
National Grandparents Day, celebrated the first Sunday after Labor Day, became a national holiday in 1978. This holiday honors grandparents and their important contributions to our families and communities. The day is all about showing love for our grandparents, giving them a chance to show their love for us, and helping kids understand the wisdom and support that older people can provide. It’s a special time to appreciate the important role grandparents play in our lives!
How Can I Celebrate?
One of the best ways to celebrate our grandparents is to spend time with them, and a great way to spend that time is reading aloud a favorite book! By sharing the joy of reading, grandparents may instill a lifelong love of books in their grandchildren. Many fond memories begin with a child climbing into a grandparent's lap with a beloved story book.
