MY NANA’S GARDEN x DRAWN TOGETHER Mom calls Grampy and me “partners in crime.” Grampy is starting to forget his words, but that won’t stop us from our regular shenanigans! I *always* know what Grampy is trying to say… Every nudge, every nod. Every sigh, every smile.

Each morning, Hazel tries to put her best foot forward. Her right foot. It NEVER trips on sidewalk cracks, has untied shoelaces, or causes problems at school. But when her left foot trips the new student, Hazel follows her feet to find forgiveness and a friend. #PBPitch #Humor
