Growing Grandparents – October 18

After our satisfying and exploratory experience using a teen book to discuss issues we care about, Growing Grandparents are beginning a three month study of both teenage sexuality and gender issues, as well as mental health concerns, using Lily and Dunkin by Susan Gephart. This is an award-winning book about a transgender girl and a boy with bipolar disorder, finding themselves and friendship in their first year at a new high school. We’ll explore some of the questions we all have, including those which will come up as part of our grandparenting experience. The book is $8, and you can pick one up in the church office. It is also available in local libraries. Join us Wednesday, October 18 on Zoom at 10am as we explore together! We will read chapters 1-33 for our first session. You don’t have to be a grandparent to be a part of this study! Contact growingrandparents@upbrookline.org.
