Let's be honest, I could go diggin in this, but instead I will just try to sum stuff up as much as I can. This does seem like a pretty lighthearted book, but in the end it is about a child having to resolve family issues, because the adults in the situation are not willing to deal with the issues they create. Maybe not the best thing to teach your child, if you want them to have a healthy childhood.

That's certainly one way to answer the inappropriate question of which one is the "real" parent.

This is a cute enough story of Aston who has a grandfather has a white grandfather on one side of his family and a black grandfather from Trinidad on the other. Each plays in a band, but each plays different sorts of music, both of which Aston enjoys. This is all the build up we need when Aston's teacher goes on the search for band for their school faire.
This is good for children to see how multiculturalism can work together. As, in the end, both grandfather's bands blend together and play at the school faire.
Not the most exciting story, but a gentle story of how two different kinds of people can work together to make a better whole.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This book is a wonderfully fun story of different cultures, and how love can help people bond and realise that they have a lot more in common then they may have thought at first.
It would be a wonderful story to help children bond in class, to share their own cultural experiences of home, and start discussions about their families.

Great conflict resolution and respecting of differences for the two grannies of this biracial child.
Funny that it's the child who finds the solution, after being stumped for a few days.

This was a cute story about a mixed race family. One side is English while the other side is Trinidadian. I want to get this one for my biracial niece because the family is very similar to her own right down to her dad's side being from Trinidad. It did a great and easy to understand job of showcasing to young children the need to be proud and relate to both sides of their family.

Alvina's are different in every way, but they both love each other very much. They have to learn to accept their different cultures and ideas so that Alvina can have fun with them both. The book would spark a conversation about different types of families and cultures.

Thank you #netgalley for giving me a copy of #mytwograndads to review. This was a cute story about music, differences, and coming together. The message in the story should be shared.

Fun story about music and how it can help bring people together, forget about difference and just enjoy the music and life itself. A simple, but really positive message that pleased me!
