Grandpa Nick’s Bump

by Mrs. Lynda M. Daniele, O.P.

STORY SYNOPSIS

In coping with the death of her husband, Nick, the author Lynda M. Daniele took a writing class at her local YMCA and began writing a story for children about her husband’s battle with meningioma and the neighborhood children he was babysitting for. The four children did not have a grandfather and asked him to be their grandfather. With a great big Grandpa Nick smile, he agreed. Grandpa Nick’s Bump tells the story of a silly, playful Grandpa Nick and the importance of grand fatherhood.

Reviews:

We always need a reminder that God is with us in all situations, because too often we forget; Grandpa Nick’s Bump is a useful reminder of that. Written as a children’s book, it tells the story of a family of four siblings and their energetic and lovable Grandpa Nick. It is heartwarming to read about the interactions that Grandpa Nick has with each of his four grandchildren, who each have unique personalities but are equally captivated by their time with Grandpa Nick. As the story title implies, Grandpa Nick develops a bump on his head that needs removing. Through prayer and pleasant thoughts of their time spent together, the family gets through this time. The family can reflect on their knowledge of God to turn a sad situation into a bearable one. Through creativity, the family can discover ways of keeping his memory alive for now and always.
