The Grandmother Book: A Book about You for Your Grandchild

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.

This is a book that is at once funny, touching, sentimental and hopeful. The knowledge we have of our grandparents is often diluted when heard through our parents. What better way to encapsulate the lives of our parent's mothers than through this treasure of a book? I wish this book had been written earlier so that my grandmother's life could have been more fully remembered by myself, as well as by my children. This book will, once filled out, be more than a memoir - it will be a family heirloom.

I am of an age where many of my friends are becoming grandmothers. This book is the perfect gift to acknowledge their new status as a grandparent as well as giving them something they can eventually pass along to their grandchild. The book is well thought out and wonderfully written. Recording family history has never been so easy!

The entire experience of this book is nothing short of amazing. It arrived and was placed on the coffee table and then my wife opened it. It is a beautiful, colorful and well designed book. Its physical characteristics are conducive to the invitation it offers to grandmothers: tell your grandchildren who you are and how you become the person who loves them so. It is a write-in it book. The Hilfords have prepared the outline for grandmother's autobiography with humor, intelligence and gentle prompts that make it fun, easy and satisfying for a grandmother to create an heirloom that will be read for generations. What a wonderful idea, beautifully presented. My wife is kind of busy now.

The Grandmother Book by Andy and Susan Hilford is unique. Most books are about the child when this is about yourself. A good book to pass down. I would highly recommend it.
