That's why this artfully designed keepsake offers grandfathers their own special vehicle for sharing their lives with the youngest generation. The contemporary styling and irresistible format--featuring helpful questions written from the grandchild's perspective--make it wonderfully easy to explore family history. There's space to mention favorite relatives, jot down beloved stories, and pass on the important lessons that Grandfather learned from his parents--and grandparents. He can recount details of his childhood and teen years; reminisce about how he met Grandma; and reflect on his own experiences with fatherhood. Because the grandchild is also the star, there are questions to inspire Grandfather to remember when he first saw his grandchild, reveal what he likes best about being a grandparent, and relate how being a grandparent has changed who he is as a person. And of course, this essential volume has plenty of room to paste in precious photos and mementos.

The illustrations are especially enjoyable. Susan M. Toy, Reading Recommendations Great-Grandma's Gifts is exactly the kind of book that little girls will remember reading with their moms when they are older. It's cute and it's soft...but it's not 'just' cute and soft; there are deeper currents here involving family and love and generations and life itself. Get it, read it and then put it high enough on the shelf so that the kids can't rip it. You're going to want to hold onto this one for them. Paul Bachmeier, author of Barley the Elephant. It's a personal story that really connects with people. Jones has a way of making her own experiences relate across the boards. Grandmothers everywhere should pick this up to read to their grandchildren. And keep on-hand as yet another gift to pass down. Scott E. Chasty A beautiful tribute to a creative mom with creative daughters....the aspect on aging is quite well done. Passed it on... Gayle Willoughby. This is a very sweet story about a girl who loved to sew that grew up to be a great-grandmother. The illustrations are gorgeous. I really like how some of the words reflect what is being said (red is red, striped is striped, etc...). I really liked this because a lot of times kids don't think of adults as being children at one time! I teach early elementary and this will be a great addition to my classroom library. Jayna This is a sweet, lovely little book. The writing rolls off the tongue and I can see how easy it would be to read aloud to a child. Very nice. By timber9762 "timber9762" (Amazon reviewer.) Sweet generational story of grandma showing and passing on her love of pieces of fabric and sewing not just pieced quilts, but also clothing and soft cuddly remembered toys. Simple drawings and colors for a toddler to point and name and recognize. Albuquerque (Amazon reviewer.) My daughter and I read this book together. My daughter will be going into grade two this fall and found it a great read for her. She read most of it on her own with some help from myself so it helped challenge her but also help with words she already knows. My daughter loved the pictures and she thought it was really neat that Grandma was busy making clothes, toys and beautiful quilts for her children and grand children. We both enjoyed the font that were coloured different sizes. Some were also striped or polka dots. A great book to read with kids. I love that after all the years of making wonderful gifts that Grandma decided to take a rest at the lake! My daughter and I give this book 5 stars! Jennifer Levac, book blogger www.genuinejenn.com
