Today Fynn is going to visit Poppy! Fynn is very excited because Poppy lives far away and he doesn't get to see him as much as he would like to.
“A Day at Poppies” by James A. Capalbo is about the joy a grandson gives his grandfather and vice versa. It’s a little story about the simple things that they like to do together. Proudly published by Citi of Books, this is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
James A. Capalbo is a simple man who enjoys spending time with his family. He works outdoors doing many different projects from building stone walls to painting a house. He has lived his entire life in the northeast part of the country in the beautiful Hudson Valley. Capalbo spends a lot of his time with his dogs Teddy and Charlotte. He takes them almost everywhere he goes. He has been really blessed with his grandson who he loves spending time with.
There’s something incredibly special about a book that slows things down and reminds us how meaningful the little moments can be, and “A Day at Poppies” does exactly that. James A. Capalbo brings readers into a sweet, calm day in the life of a child who’s over the moon to spend time with his Poppy. From the long car ride filled with daydreams to the excitement of hopping onto a big green tractor, the story feels cozy, familiar, and full of heart.
The target audience of the book is young children, especially toddlers and early elementary readers, but it’s also a wonderful read for parents and grandparents. Anyone who has shared a special routine or tradition with a child will instantly connect with this story. Kids will love the tractor, the rocks, and the sense of adventure, while adults will appreciate the gentle reminder of how powerful one-on-one time can be.
One of the book’s strongest lessons reflects a real-life experience many families treasure: time spent together matters more than anything else. Fynn doesn’t need toys, screens, or big events to have a great day—he just needs attention, patience, and a chance to help. It’s a beautiful reminder that children feel valued when they’re included, trusted, and allowed to work alongside the adults they admire.
What makes “A Day at Poppies” so enticing is its simplicity and warmth. It’s the kind of book that invites cuddles, sparks conversations about family, and leaves everyone feeling just a little more grateful. If you’re looking for a heartfelt story that celebrates grandparents, connection, and everyday joy, this book is a lovely addition to any child’s bookshelf
