AUTHOR: Dave Grunenwald
Dave Grunenwald is a proud grandfather who was born, raised, and educated in Northeast Ohio. He has worn many hats in his professional life. Now “semi-retired”, Dave has been an influential real-estate developer and attorney in Northeast Ohio for the last 30+ years. While he is still involved and active in that capacity, much of his time these days is spent wearing his DCGifts hat, creating the Grandparent Merit Badges™ series, and authoring a new series of children’s story books.
Lucas and Emily’s Animal Adventure
Lucas and Emily’s Animal Adventure is based on the Grandparent Merit Badges, a series of kits, which launched in 2021. The kits are designed to encourage grandparents and grandkids to disconnect from the digital world and to spend more time together doing simple but fun activities. The adventure books are designed to be a series of stories about family members spending time and having fun doing things together.
