From Grandmother with Love

By Becky Kelly

Book Overview

Why do we pass along stories of bygone days? Why do we safeguard old photos and cherish mementos from long ago? Why are we so intrigued by the past? There are lots of reasons, but maybe the most compelling is this: By studying the path that brought us to where we are, we come to know ourselves better. Personality, character, humor, and style are passed along through the generations just as long-held family traditions are. Becky Kelly's new prompted journal From Grandmother with Love is a special place for Grandmother to recount her favorite memories and family histories. Becky's journal features her charming watercolor illustrations and prompted entries to guide Grandmother through her life and times, creating a keepsake that will be cherished for years to come, leaving a history about the people and events that came before her, and so that someday, when someone asks a grandchild where they're from, they'll know just what to tell.

Customer Reviews

Great, non cheesy journal for granmothers of all ages.

I have wanted to get this for my mom to fill out even before I found out I was pregnant with her first granddaughter! Out of all the journals for grandmas, I felt this one was the best fit for my 51 year old mother to fill out. Its not overly cheesy with the wording, the illustrations are sweet and all of the quotes inside are so precious without being overly sentimental or trite. This will be something great to hand down to my daughter one day.

Lovely

I love this book! The artwork is absolutly beautiful! The questions are comprehensive and appropriate. I can't wait to read what my mother and mother-in-law write for my daughter. This will be a treasured keepsake for her!

VERY PLEASED

THIS BOOK WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO RECORD PAST MEMORIES FOR MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. EACH PAGE WAS BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED AND GAVE DIFFERENT AND BETTER IDEAS THAN OTHER MEMORY BOOKS I HAVE SEEN. ALTHOUGH I AM PARTIAL TO BECKY KELLY. THANKS
