Paige Gilchrist

Lark Books, 2005

For My Grandchild
This book, when filled out by "Grandma", will be a treasure. I have just started filling mine in and it is taking me to places I had not thought about for years. This will contain information my own children don't know about me. Give yourself a lot of time to do this, there are picture pages for which I will have to have copies made, etc. I might not want to give it away right after it is ...

The Grandmother Book
The Grandmother Book is unique because it asks the grandparent to reveal her personality and achievements in a fun and interesting manner. I have bought many copies to give as holiday presents for grandparents who appear old but are young in spirit and heart.

Love it!
I love this book. It's the perfect way to ensure your kids will always remember their grandparents. I sure wish I had something like this to look over now that my grandmother has passed away. It probes for the best information like grandma's life growing up, her life lessons, what her home looked like, how much things cost, how her and grandpa met, etc. It also gives the opportunity to leave ...

Atlantic Monthly Pr, 1998

Should be required reading in every family.
I was looking for something for my grandchildren who live 1500 miles from us when this beautiful book "jumped off the shelf". These letters contain all kinds of things I am able to teach the grandchildren who live close by and visit often, but it will also be nice for them to have something in their hands for future reference. The lessons that these well known people give to their ...

The information I learned from reading my grandfather's responses to this book helped me gain a better understanding of how society has changed ...

Annie Decker, Nicole Stephenson

Chronicle Books, 2004

beautifully written!!
I ordered six of these books for my daughter's four grandparents and two surviving great-grandparents. After looking through them, I am sad that she will not have books of her other great-grandparents as well. The questions are very comprehensive and there's lots of room to write answers. This book is exactly what I was looking for. There's so many interesting questions that I would have never ...

Regal Books, 2008

Excellent and practical
Reviewed by Carol Hoyer for Reader Views (9/08) Boy! This book took me by surprise! I really thought it was going to be one of those books that told you everything you were doing wrong as a grandparent. It was just the opposite. Dr. Campbell's startling insight on being a child in today's world, as well as being a grandparent was right on target. It never occurred to me that I might be ...

So much more
True, this book is initially about the birth of a premature grandchild, but it is about so much more. It is about the preciousness of life, no matter how short or long it is.

Bulfinch, 1992

Grandmother remembers
This book is a great way to organize your own life as a gift to your grandchild. Price is reasonable so each child should have his/her own; just a bit more personal. Hunting up accompanying photos brought back many wonderful and sad memories to share. I had sooo many extra photos to include that I numbered the pages, marked photos A, B, C, etc. on each page and taped a special 3 page layered ...
