A Gift from Grandma
by Sarah Condie


What happens when a seemingly ordinary gift turns into an unexpected adventure? When her grandmother gives Eve a very colorful dress for her birthday, she isn’t sure it's her style. But after her brothers accidentally spill cereal all over her clothes, Eve has no choice but to wear the new dress to school. As unexplainable events start to take place around her, Eve begins to realize there’s something extraordinary about her dress. But to keep the day from turning into a disaster, she’ll need to enlist the help of her friends. With a sprinkle of whimsy and a dash of magic, A Gift from Grandma is a heartwarming tale of friendship, problem-solving, and the magic of embracing the unexpected. Young readers will love embarking on their own adventure as they spot hidden objects within the pages of the book.


A storyteller at heart, Sarah Condie has shaped the narratives and stories of some of the world’s most iconic brands. With her debut book, A Gift from Grandma, she brings that same creative vision to each page, offering a heartfelt tribute to the joy of family, friendship and self-expression. Sarah lives in New York City with her husband, daughter and black lab, Luna, and hopes that this book leaves readers with the same sense of wonder and imagination that reading has always sparked in her.
