My Mother's Pearls

My 5-year-old daughter loves this book. It provokes lots of questions from her about her grandmothers and great-greats. It is a great way to discuss different times in history and the importance of family heirlooms and traditions.

My 3 year old daughter picked this book out at the library based on the pictures, little did she or I know what she would start....It immediately became her favorite book, a must read every night. After checking it out of the library 2 consecutive times I decided that this book along with a string of fake pearls would be the best birthday present she could receive. This book helps children understand that their mommy and their grandmothers were once little also (what a concept!) It has sparked many conversations about our family history and what she wants when she grows up. We both highly recommend this book for all mothers and daughters!
