Grandparents, Guardians of Life

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading this wonderful book as if it were the script for an episode of *Medico in famiglia*. The advice, suggestions, and reflections of this engaging author are many nuggets of wisdom, ranging from the art of telling fairy tales to how to navigate the digital world.” (From Lino Banfi’s presentation). These pages have substance and importance. They are important because they seek to make known what today seems to us to be the last reserve we still have for stemming the “educational catastrophe” of which Pope Francis speaks. Grandparents save us from catastrophe because they preserve the years of roots in the life of every new human being who arrives on the planet. Grandparents protect us from catastrophe because they show, firsthand, that even today it is possible and rewarding to be mature men and women. All this is confirmed by these pages, embellished with the words of grandchildren and enriched by numerous educational insights, as well as by a chapter devoted to the Pope’s thoughts - he is always on the side of grandparents!
