Book Description
Children often learn a lot about life from stories, and Grandma knows it. Thats why shes sharing these six stories shes collected from all over the world with her grandchildren, the twins Josh and Tamara. These tales of self-confidence, honesty, and bravery expose children to the lives of people unlike themselves, guiding them to build good, strong characters. Milos perseverance as she tries to get to the Magic Lake, Lees determination to help his fellow citizens, and Kims quick thinking in the face of a tsunami reflect conflicts faced by people around the world. Their choices come alive as examples of how choosing the right thing pays off in the end, and how common sense is far better than good grades without being practical. There is a story for every experience in life, if we can only find it. Let Grandmas tales help you teach your children to be mindful of the experiences of others and ignite their passion for reading.

During her babysitting, Grandma gladly takes the children to wherever they were used to going with their mom: to the park, to the museum, to their favorite restaurant, and to the mall for shopping for toys and clothes. She also prepares noodles and other dishes and desserts they like to eat. In the evenings, she tells them the fantasy stories that her mother used to tell her and her sisters when they were young. The children enjoy Grandmas fictional stories very much, particularly Olivia. Part II On the second week of June 2014, Grandmas older grandchildrenStephanie, eighteen, and Alexandra and Gabriella, both fifteen years oldgo to Huntley to attend their grandmothers seventy-fifth birthday celebration. They stay with Grandma for four days, during which time they do the usual things they did during their previous visits when they were younger: swimming at Prairie Lodge or at Stingray Bay swimming pools, shopping at the malls, and picnicking at Del Webbs picnic area. Afternoons are spent learning to cook and bake and listening to their grandmas stories when she was working in Queens, New York, senior centers for eighteen years. Her true stories about the seniors she was working with capture the girls interest, especially Alexandra, whose ambition is to become a social worker one day.
Becoming Grandma

Book Description
The New York Times Bestseller From one of the country’s most recognizable journalists, Lesley Stahl of CBS's 60 Minutes: How becoming a grandmother transforms a woman’s life. After four decades as a reporter, Lesley Stahl’s most vivid and transformative experience of her life was not covering the White House, interviewing heads of state, or researching stories at 60 Minutes. It was becoming a grandmother. She was hit with a jolt of joy so intense and unexpected, she wanted to “investigate” it—as though it were a news flash. And so, using her 60 Minutes skills, she explored how grandmothering changes a woman’s life, interviewing friends like Whoopi Goldberg, colleagues like Diane Sawyer (and grandfathers, including Tom Brokaw), as well as the proverbial woman next door. Along with these personal accounts, Stahl speaks with scientists and doctors about physiological changes that occur in women when they have grandchildren; anthropologists about why there are grandmothers, in evolutionary terms; and psychiatrists about the therapeutic effects of grandchildren on both grandmothers and grandfathers. Throughout Becoming Grandma, Stahl shares stories about her own life with granddaughters Jordan and Chloe, about how her relationship with her daughter, Taylor, has changed, and about how being a grandfather has affected her husband, Aaron. In an era when baby boomers are becoming grandparents in droves and when young parents need all the help they can get raising their children, Stahl’s book is a timely and affecting read that redefines a cherished relationship.
