You were fortunate to have such a wonderful grandmother who initiated you into the magical world of words and told you bedtime stories. Such bonds leave an unforgettable impression on our minds, and fire one’s imagination, especially if one happens to have a literary bent of mind.

Hi, Elizabeth.

Thanks for your lovely comment. I am very thankful that I was able to have the relationship I had with my grandma when she was alive. Like you said, not all of us get the chance to have such a relationship. I think books and reading are a wonderful way to help each other grow, not only as children, but as adults too.

Emily.

We can teach our grandchildren so much through sharing and reading together. Sadly, I didn’t really know my own grandmothers well, I was very young when they passed away. Words and books, reading together… what a special and wonderful way to help a child grow and flourish. I also love the fun that can be had when reading and sharing… heart warming. Thank you Emily 🙂
