The arrival of a great-grandson has inspired Johnson to write "Children's Tea & Etiquette" in which the main characters learn basic manners when they attend a tea party for grandparents and grandchildren. The illustrated children's book features simple lessons in shaking hands, giving introductions, making eye contact, picking up a napkin, brewing and drinking tea, and writing a thank you notes, all the things grandparents can sometimes achieve more easily than parents.This is an intergenerational book that brings grandchildren and grandparents together over a cup of tea. Several child-friendly teatime recipes are included as well.
