The Rain Likes Grandma: A Gift for the Grandma Who Takes the Storm

Grandma already has a drawer full of scarves. And gloves. And a few "World's Best Grandma" mugs. If you're wondering what to get her this year, an eight-year-old has a better idea.

Every rainy morning

In our short film, June's grandma walks her to school every morning. On rainy days, she brings a big red umbrella.

June drew it: the umbrella over June's head, keeping her dry. And grandma? She's out in the rain, arm stretched long, smiling anyway.

When asked about it, June shared what grandma always tells her: "Grandma says the rain likes her. So it leaves me alone."

Grandmas don't stop the storm. They make sure it misses you.

That's how the video puts it, and anyone with a grandmother like June's will recognize her immediately. The grandma who gives you the last cookie. Who takes the cold seat. Who says "I'm not hungry" or "I like the rain" so you don't have to worry.

Children may believe the cover story for a while. But they also notice who's getting wet. June did, and she drew it.

A thank-you gift for a grandma who helps every day

More and more families rely on grandparents for school runs, after-school care and sick days. These grandmas aren't occasional visitors; they're part of the daily routine. They deserve more than another scarf.

In the video, June's family has her drawing embroidered on a hoodie for grandma. Now she wears it on every rainy walk. Under the umbrella, this time.

When to give it

• Christmas, as the gift from the grandchild she walks to school
• Her birthday
• Mother's Day or Grandparents Day
• The last day of school, as a thank-you for a whole year of mornings

Why a child's drawing makes the best grandma gift

• It's made by the grandchild, which is what grandmas really want
• It tells a story she'll love explaining to her friends
• It can't be bought anywhere else
• Embroidered, it's warm and wearable, perfect for chilly walks

We stitch your child's drawing exactly as drawn: the extra-long arm, the oversized umbrella, every raindrop.

Ask about the cover story

Many grandmas have a version of "the rain likes me." Ask your child what grandma always says, or what she does that seems a little too generous. Their answer is often the best starting point for a drawing.
