Stories from Grandpa’s Recliner is a trilogy of inspirational and funny stories, with fun activities and amazing facts.
In the first story, “Meeting Your Destiny,” Robert, Ning-Ning, and Edgard are anxious about leaving the familiarity of grade school for the new challenges of middle school. They and Robert’s younger brother, Freddie, pay a surprise visit to Robert’s Grandpa Thad in hopes of receiving assurance and encouragement. Grandpa Thad does not disappoint. He shares with the children an inspirational story about a determined caterpillar with a dream.
The second story, “Popcorn Party,” is the hilarious misadventures of several characters, who are very similar to the children in the first story, as they deal with a profusion of popcorn, which is the result of their failure to obey and follow directions.
The third story, “Pet Problem,” is filled with comical chaos as the main character, Freddie experiences the consequences of disobedience and deception, while trying to hide his new pet from his parents.
The book also contains a section of fun activities, that help bring to remembrance, the stories as well as interesting facts that helps broaden the reader’s knowledge.
The colorful illustrations capture the attention of young children, but most of all, the book is a tool for adults to spend quality bonding time with young readers and pass on meaningful life lessons in a joyful way.

Art wrote and illustrated one of the stories in this book over thirty years ago as a bed time story for his young daughters. Remembering how much fun it brought to bedtime for his daughters, he decided to update the story and publish it, hoping to share the fun with another generation.
This is the second children’s book that Art has published. Art also created an anti-tobacco curriculum. He authored and illustrated the accompanying workbook, and taught the program in a local school district. It’s hoped that Stories from Grandpa’s Recliner, will create wholesome fun and warm memories for children and their parents.
