Annotated Bibliography and Webliography for Staff Who Work with Grandfamilies  
 

Of the 4.5 million children in the U.S. who live in grandparent-headed households, approximately one-third have no parent in the home. This annotated bibliography and webliography is designed to support staff members who work with grandfamilies. Its intent is to provide valuable knowledge and pave the path to the discovery of additional resources and information that can support grandparents in their role as caregivers. Additionally, a selection of children’s books that show grandparents in different roles are available for grandfamilies.

Head Start Bulletin #80
Grandparents Making a Difference  

“My 4-year-old granddaughter has learning disabilities and some physical disabilities, and they [Head Start] are really working wonders in helping me get her all the programs she needs. My granddaughter wouldn’t talk. Now she talks very fluently and in complete sentences.”

“We knew something was wrong… It took going to a Head Start conference and sharing my story with the lady that I was sharing a room with. She was actually able to get me a grant to pay for my [grandson’s] speech therapy and developmental therapy. The difference is remarkable. It has taken a lot of stress off of me.”
