Product ReviewsMy Grandmother Showed Me the Stars by Becky Kelly and Patrick Regan (2007, Hardcover)

A MUST for Every Grandmother

This book is physically lovely, setting the perfect tone for the narrator, a grandchild, to mention all the magical, mystical, wondrous things she was taught by her grandmother. Some of them are obvious, but their treatment is never mundane. Others took my breath away. "Yes!" I thought, "This is what I want my grandchildren to be able to say when they're all grown up." Grams, you might keep a copy for nudging and inspiration in those times when the going is rough for whatever reason. But maybe around age 10 or 12, depending on the maturity of your grandchild, it's time for them to have a copy of their own. I literally stumbled upon this book and was struck by the title; I can't imagine having never discovered it. I've already bought addition alseveral copies to give to friends who are as thrilled and yes, a bit overboard, at being a Grammy as I am. I might add that my daughter was reading it over my shoulder when I opened my copy and she was as moved and delighted by it as I was. It's a real Keeper!Read full review...
