Inspired by his daughters to create a book that brings laughter and joy to others, Venice resident Jim Grant announces his first published children’s book, “My Big Toe.” 

“My Big Toe,” is an easy read; fun for parents to read along with their children and, one day, watch them read alone. The colorfully illustrated pages are reminiscent of Grant’s daughters’ discovery of their toes as toddlers, and their journey through childhood. 

Grant had the idea of creating a children’s book as daughters Lauren and Brianne grew up. But it was the birth of his grandson Jameson, that served as the motivation to bring his dream to life.

“I’m beyond thrilled that this book is finally here,” says Grant. Adding, “The idea was a promise I made to my girls, and after 25 years of talking about it, they will finally be able to enjoy this piece of my legacy and share it with my grandson.”   

Published by Dorrance Publishing, Co., My Big Toe,”is a hard-cover 14-page children’s book, complete with drawing pages, also offered online formats. 

My Big Toe is available for purchase through Dorrance Bookstore, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble
