Great Book!

This book is from a genuine heart! Janet Teitsort is an inspiration to grandparents who want to stay in touch with their grandchildren in a world that keeps families busy and pulled apart. Her ideas are tested and they work!

Keeping close to out of town grandchildren

Practical suggestions about being an everyday part of your grandchilds life even though they live too many miles away to visit frequently. I especially like the idea about buying books to send to small grandchildren and recording them on a cassette before you mail it. As the young child looks at the book their Grandparents sent them they can play the cassette and listen to Grandma or Grandpa read the book to them. It is a special personal way to share a book with children many miles away. It helps grandparents become something more to little children than just a picture in a frame.
