Grandpa Listens Closely

Grandpa leans in with his hand cupped to his ear, ready to catch every little word. His eyes sit wide and round, and his mouth hangs open in a tiny O, like he just heard a funny secret. Soft lines ripple across his forehead and cheeks, and short hair sweeps back from his face. A comfy crew-neck sweater rests on his shoulders.

He looks gentle and curious, the way grandparents do when they want to hear a good story. The background stays open, so all the attention lands on his listening face. Deep outlines trace his wrinkles and the curve of his fingers, giving lots of spots to color slow and steady. One quiet moment shows how much he cares about what you have to say.

Fun Fact!

A "Blue Moon" isn't actually blue; it's the term for a second full moon occurring in the same calendar month.
