Virtual Author Talk: Ted Page
Thursday, June 18
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Join Ted Page as he discusses nurturing future generations in his book, 'Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood.'
Join us for a virtual conversation with storyteller and popular blogger, Ted Page, as we chat about his book Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood. This heartfelt book highlights his journey to bring together the stories and wisdom of grandfathers from all walks of life—all with a mission to nurture the next great generation.
When Page found out he was going to be a grandpa, he did a web search to learn more about the experience in store for him, but all he could find were references to the movie Bad Grandpa. He could not help but wonder, “Where are the good ones?” Page started a blog, GoodGrandpa.com, and set out to talk with grandfathers across a diverse spectrum. This included an NFL pro athlete, a priest, a rabbi, an imam, newsman Tom Brokaw, comedy legend John Cleese, Chinese and Indians, physicians adapting to disability, an air force general, a Vietnam combat vet and many more along with his Aunt Lois and the Dalai Lama.
Along the way, Page investigated family histories—his own and those of the grandpas he interviewed—to reveal fascinating stories and lessons for living a good life. In every conversation, he asked grandpas for their number one most important piece of wisdom: one thing that could help our grandchildren grow to become the greatest generation of all time. A unified and unforgettable picture emerges.
Good Grandpa is inspiring, uplifting, evocative and filled with genuine emotion. It is a recipe of hope for a divided America, and the book that will be on every grandparent’s reading list.
