Praise for Grandma’s Hands

“Bill Withers was one of my favorite people on the planet. The gift of his music to all of us is eternal. This new children’s book #GrandmasHands is soooo beautiful. I urge everyone to get a copy for your child or grandchild or someone else’s child. Or maybe get one and donate it to a daycare or public/ school library. I’m so grateful to Marcia Withers and her children, Kori and Todd for continuing to share Bill’s rich legacy with the world like this. 🙏🏾❤️ @rgregorychristie these illustrations are INCREDIBLE”
