This book conveys the things one seldom says to their child or grandchild. It encompasses the family history, special stories about the family, and secret thoughts and feelings the grandparent has for their grandchild. It gives the grandchild a perspective and understanding of their grandparent that they may not have known heretofor. A wonderfully rich treasure to be passed on to grandchildren.

I first found this book at the ...in Louisianna. I bought five of them for my five grandchildren. Then I had a sixth. I called the Gibson Co and they said they were out of print. I called ... all over the US to try to find them. I finally found three more. I bought them all. Those eight lasted until now. I have one grandchild who doesn't (or didn't) have one. I have been looking for a book that is similar to my others. I look in gift shops and children's shops and ... finally found one that was OK but not great. It had room for pictures but not for my writing. Then last night in the middle of the night, a thought occurred to me. Just write in Grandma's Gift and let the computer search for me. I could hardly wait to wake up and wait my turn on my husband's computer. As soon as I put in Grandma's Gift, it came up on Amazon.com. I was elated and bought three more. I really don't want to tell the world how wonderful they are because I'm afraid everyone will buy them and I won't be able to get enough for all of my grandchildren because I don't know how many there will be in the future. You must be prepared to do a lot of work and jot memories as you go. It is the greatest gift I will ever give to anyone. I am so grateful to be able to buy three of them today.

It is too bad this book is currently not available. I would buy two more books for my friends for baby shower gifts.

I had previous books like this for my two granddaughters and never thought that I would be able to obtain one exactly like them for my grandson. Seeing this one on Amazon was such a surprise and delight! I am so happy to be able to give each grandchild the same memory book.
