Product Description
Share with your grandchild the exciting, emotional, amusing, embarrassing, and interesting moments of your life with the "story of you." --Andy and Susan Hilford

For the fifteen million grandmothers who are keepers of family history and memories, The Grandmother Book is a lively and timely way to record your story for future generations.

* Andy and Susan Hilford present the perfect way for grandmothers of all ages to pass along a grandmother's story. The story is one that recounts coming-of-age moments, life-changing events, a look back at what was, family anecdotes and historical insight. With thoughtful, surprising, at times unexpected, and provocative questions, this book is directed to the new generation of baby boomer grandmothers. From early memories of her childhood, to the time she began her own family, to the present as she watches her family continue to grow, this valuable, prompted keepsake ensures that the thoughts, moments, events, images, and ideas that shaped her life are collected in her voice and in her hand for a precious audience.

* This grandmother's book of memories includes spaces for special photographs, report cards, family tree, and other cherished memorabilia and keepsakes, along with thoughtful, amusing, memory-nudging prompts to kick-start grandmother's storytelling

* A perfect gift on Grandparent's Day, Mother's Day, wedding anniversaries, and birthdays, the book's hardcover binding and decorative four color art ensure its status as a written family treasure for generations to come.

 
Customer Reviews for  'The Grandmother Book: A Book About You for Your Grandchild'
 
Loved it!!
I gave this to my mother so that she could fill it out for my son. She and I both absolutely loved it. I can't wait for her to complete it and for my son to get it back as a gift from his grandmother, detailing her many life experiences. The price was cheaper than any of my local book stores.
 
Not for the divorced granma...
This is cute, but as soon as I received it and thumbed through it, I realized it was inappropriate for my mom, who hasn't been with "grandpa" for a long time. It has several pages for "first date with grandpa", "first kiss with grandpa", etc, which would have been awkward, since they're divorced...
 
For the traditional grandmother
This is a great book, and in theory would be a fantastic heirloom for my daughter. I am a bit disappointed that it spends so many pages discussing the relationship between grandmother and grandfather, particularly in a time of so many marriages ending in divorce. At this point I am not sure I will give either of the copies I ordered to the grandmothers, as one is a widower and remarried later in life, begging the question of which 'grandfather' should she write about, and the other is divorced.
 
Give one to your mother or grandmother now!
Such a great idea and so beautifully executed! I only wish my Grandmothers had the chance to write versions for me (and future generations). Rest assured, I won't let another generation be deprived of this jewel. You can tell the authors put a great deal of time, thought, and love into the creation of this book and the beautiful illustrations just add to the warmth.
 
an incredible gift for any grandmother
This book was a big win--twice over. First with my mother in law, who loved this book so much. She even tells all her friends about it and the incredibly fun time she had making it. I cant tell you how happy that makes me. And Second with my daughter who cherishes this book from her grandmother like its an advance copy of Harry Potter. All of her friends now want to get their own books for their grandmothers.
