a beautiful story...

A great gift for a new grandma! I have to keep reordering this book because I keep giving mine away - and I want one to share with my own grandchild!

Grandchildren can stay close to long distance grandparents

As my own granddaughter lives hundred of miles away, I continually search for books that we can share long distance. I thought this book would be one I would send for her parents to read to her. Instead, I am sending her one copy and buying myself a copy to keep for her visits here. Beginning with the grandmother rocking the newborn baby to exchanging pictures and homemade cards, this book reinforces the efforts my granddaughter's parents and I are making to create and maintain a strong bond between my young granddaughter and I. I especially like that the emphasis is on establishing traditions (i.e. the yearly planting of seeds), doing activities together (i.e. picking apples), and sending homemade art to each other (cards and drawings).
