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.

5 out of 5 stars an incredible gift for any grandmother   May 10, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

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.



5 out of 5 stars A book you'll treasure for generations!   May 9, 2008

I bought this great book for my Mom for Mother's Day so she could work on filling it out with our daughter each time we visit. I love the playful tone of the questions, as well as the detail things it asks: like "How much did a movie cost when you were growing up?" and "How would your friends at school have described you?" I also like that there are pages for putting "stuff" - her high school report card, for instance - instead of having it lie buried in a box. It LOOKS great too, with a fantastic color scheme and the same playful tone. This book is perfect for passing on life stories for fun, interesting people who HAPPEN to be grandmothers - like my Mom!


5 out of 5 stars What a great cross-generational idea   May 7, 2008

The Grandmother Book serves as a sweet template for handing down information across the generations. I encourage the authors to create some Grandfather, Aunt and Crazy Uncle books to complement it!


5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book   May 6, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is a terrific example of a great idea that turns into an even better product. What a wonderful way for grandchildren (and even their parents) to learn about two (or more) of the most important people in their lives. The book is beautifully designed, well thought out and full of humor and spirit. A great gift for sure!


5 out of 5 stars Fun for my Mom, who's a Grandmom.   May 6, 2008

I just got this book to give to my step-mom on Mother's Day. She's a relatively new grandparent and will love filling it out with my nephews. When it arrived, it was even cuter than it looked online. The pictures and the questions, themselves, are whimsical and entertaining. I'm thrilled that the kids will have a chance to know her as the whole amazing person she is, not just as their Grammy. It's something we'll all treasure forever.
