👴 About the Book

Harold bungles a school event but learns to look past the wrinkles and truly "see" the older generation for who they are.

Harold Mitchell is ten years old and dreading Grandparents' Day at school. After a spectacular, cringe-worthy mix-up in front of the whole assembly, Harold is forced to actually sit down and listen to the people he thought were just "old and boring."

This is the story of what happens when you make assumptions about people, and the hilarious, heartwarming reality of discovering that everyone has a wild story to tell.
