In this unique collection, twelve of today's most acclaimed children's book authors take us on a journey to the grandmothers' houses of their memories. Some of the stories are sweetly nostalgic. Others are heartbreaking stories of difficult, or even absent, grandmothers. But each celebrates the sometimes warm, sometimes tense, always special relationship between grandmothers and their granddaughters. A tribute to the women who shape our families and our lives, these are stories to read, to share, and to treasure.
