I spoke with Christal Holliday-Firmin about her enchanting tale, You Can Have Your Cake And Grandparents Too. This beautiful children's book whirls us into the sweet predicament of a boy with 6 loving grandparents and a looming birthday choice. Christal shares how her son ended up with six grandparents, and the importance of blended-family representation in Children's books.
