I live in a third-world country where popular access to books and good education is extremely limited. The effects of this kind of lack of resources are all around me, and to think that the needs of American children going unmet in the same way I see it happening here pains me. So I jumped at this chance as an individual citizen to do my small part to help channel funds toward Title 1 schools.

Me with You
From tea time to game time, singing or swinging, in the good times and even the grumpy ones, a granddaughter knows her grandpa is always wonderfully himself, and she is wonderfully herself, and together they are unbeatable! A pair beyond compare, a rare and special two! With simple rhymes and delightfully charming illustrations, Me with You is the perfect book to remind young readers how unique they and their grandparents truly are.
Kristy Dempsey
The Author: American author Kristy Dempsey has lived in Belo Horizonte, Brazil with her husband and three children since 1998. She misses her family, peanut butter and grits (like any self-respecting Southern girl should), but she loves eating pão de queijo and feijoada on a frequent basis. A poet at heart, Kristy has been writing for publication since 2004. ME WITH YOU (published by Philomel) is her first book, with more on the way from both Bloomsbury and Philomel.
