A Scrapbook to Bridge the Generations

When my grandmother was a little girl, she accidentally swallowed her favorite ring. Horrified, she shared this dire news with her best friend Emily. Emily had a plan, and no one was more delighted than she when, three days later, the two of them retrieved the ring. After all, what's a best friend for? It was one of my grandmother's favorite stories -- two little girls whose friendship knew no ends. Who could imagine such childish hijinks in these two society matrons who'd never been known to wear anything but dress suits? Their friendship spanned a century. I was lucky to have grown up in such an intimate small town with my extended family just a few blocks' walk from my house. Lucky to have the benefit of family stories that linked me with the past. In many ways, the transience and mobility of the modern world has isolated the nuclear family. When once it was the norm to have three generations living together in one house, we are now spread across the globe, playing catch-up with extended family through electronic media and at Christmas. This special book for mothers and sons encourages children to learn about and understand their roots, and give real meaning to what it means to be a part of something bigger. Each album carries the potential of a story unlike any other with Family trees to be filled in and places for photos and memories from grandparents, great-grandparents, parents and of that special new son, himself. Tell the story of your own first skinned knee and your best friend with whom you shared your secrets. Where did you grow up? What was your favorite toy? What did your room look like? This is more than a baby book. This is a family treasure.
