The world is not as it used to be, and grandparents live too far away from their grandchildren to see them as much as they would like. Babies grow overnight, and grandparents miss the many stages of their lives because of the distance. Video chat has provided a way to close this gap so that they can become an active participant in their grandchildren's lives from birth on. In One Video Chat Away: Grandparent Edition, Lily and Maggie excitedly share their many adventures, celebrations, and hardships with their grandparents every day. The surprise ending shows how fun and personal video chat can be for these two little girls and their grandparents.
