Parenting can only be described as an endless adventure, but in reality it is so much more. Whether you are raising young toddlers, teenagers, or those on the brink of adulting, parenting can be terrifying, overwhelming, and yes, even exhausting at times. Every stage of their growth and development becomes a new journey. Each time we think we have it figured out; they grow up a little more. We are left feeling unprepared, lost, and out of date, like a stubby armed tyrannosaurus rex trapped in a world filled with push-button-start cars and touch-screen cell phones.

As strange as it sounds, this is actually one of the best parts of being a parent! We don't really know what we are getting into and there are no all-inclusive instruction manuals available to download on Audible.com and listen to in our cars on the way to work. While nobody gets a gold medal for it, being a good parent will be one of our greatest accomplishments as we someday quietly reflect on the ultimate meaning of our short lives. Join Jay as he takes you back through the years on a journey filled with wonder, humor and insight, maybe even to those places in your own childhood that have been long forgotten.

Grandpa's Angry Chickens is a wonderful and enjoyable resource for parents and grandparents of all ages. Jay does a masterful job of helping us recall those distant days with our parents and grandparents when the world was an endless open book just waiting to be written in the ink of imagination, skinned knees, tree climbing, and sometimes a little mischief. Jay then helps us recognize the lessons hidden inside those moments that enable us to enrich the lives of our kids and grandkids. I highly recommend this touching and emotional book to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and special friends.
