From Your Grandfather: A Gift of Memory for My Grandchild (AARP)

By Lark Books

Grandfathers connect us to the past and give us the wisdom we need to face the future. 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.

Customer Reviews

Great Gift!

I purchased this book after perusing it at a bookstore (price was the same here but you can't beat the free shipping!). It made a great gift for my partner's parents. The information that they can record is great and I'm sure you'll find out something about your partner you did not know once these pages have been filled with stories. I love it and so did they!

Good Book

My friend was very touched to receive this book and thought it a great idea. Arrived on time and in good condition.

Grandfather Gift

This book was purchased as a gift for someone who had become a grandfather for the first time. It was the perfect gift and he was thrilled with the concept. The book is very user friendly and will be a wonderful keepsake in the years to come.

Great Gift Idea!

My husband and I are trying to conceive and we gave his parents this book as well as "For My Grandchild: A Grandmother's Gift of Memory" for Christmas. They loved it and cant wait for our baby to be born so they can start filling it up!!
