Sometimes Grandpa Calls Me Herman - Norman the Button 4

Formats: E-Book, Paperback, Hardback

Norman’s grandpa is always falling asleep during conversations… and he never seems to get Norman’s name right. So, when Mom asks him to spend a whole week helping clean Grandpa’s house, Norman is sure it will be the most boring visit ever.

But as he clears the clutter from Grandpa’s house, he uncovers forgotten memories from the past and untold stories about his family. As Grandpa shares pieces of his life, Norman discovers there’s so much more to him than he ever imagined—and why being called Herman isn’t such an insult after all.

A touching story about patience, family, and the memories that connect us.
