Download or read book Grandpa Grandma s Stories written by Geetika Goyal and published by Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time when children used to go to their grandpa and grandma often. In a playful way, they would learn and absorb the beautiful values of life. But today, when everyone is becoming busier, at such a time, it is only the stories which can bring us closer to the future generation. Those moments at night before sleeping, when we and our little ones enjoy the stories together, are invaluable. In these moments, unknowingly, the love between us becomes stronger, and the children learn the first lesson of their lives—the value of beautiful relationships. The attempt has been to see each story through the eyes of a child, and to listen to each story with the ears of a child, and understand it with a child's heart. The effort has been that if there is any word which pricks their innocent minds, then that should not reach them through the medium of these stories. The effort here has been that each story has a positive end, from which the dreams of the children get a positive beginning.

This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by her mother’s numerous tales of growing up in Nebraska during the Depression, and as her life as a young bride and as a nurse, Mary Jane began compiling these anecdotes years ago when she began to realize their significance to her family’s history. With the birth of nieces and nephews and the death of her beloved mother came the realization that life does not last forever and the imperative to preserve these family treasures became even greater. With generous and enthusiastic contributions of photos, facts, details and insights, family members enhanced these stories and provided depth and luster to this glimpse into an American family descended from immigrants.

Download or read book Grandfather Stories written by Perry Treadwell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-03-14 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grandfather Stories chronicles the transition from family farming with a team of horses to the mechanized farm through the eyes of a growing boy. He recalls, “Dogs called Shep or Billy came and went. Cats followed Granddad from the barn with his two pails of milk. Chickens fussed and squawked and produced eggs, which had to be collected every evening. Night hardly cooled from the heat of the day. Rotating fans served as the only air conditioning after electricity came. Heat lightening walked across the slate sky. The kitchen smelled of wood-fire, fresh peach or cherry cobbler, and churned butter. On the back porch where the work boots and the straw hats resided, the slop bucket full of old milk gave off its sourer odor to mix with the odors of kerosene and mud. There were chamber pots under the bed for nighttime use rather than trekking to the outhouse. Long-legged calves with runny behinds bawled for the moms during the day.” These farmers in Gentry County, Missouri traced their ancestry back to the British Isles. Some fought in the American Revolution before they began pushing westward. These were self-sustaining farms able to produce most of the meat and vegetables and animal feed necessary for their survival. The reader will join Perry in feeding and doctoring pigs, harnessing a team of horses, visiting a blacksmith, and making hay. Come attend a Saturday night band concert and Sunday church followed by a church picnic. Sit on the lap of a former slave. Take the long train ride back home after a summer testing your growth. Sample a life now absent from most of the United States.

Book excerpt: When Swami, a true-blue aficionado of Harry Potter, is stuck with distant relatives on a two-week vacation that stretches into months, he is at wit's end trying to endure his loneliness. To his rescue comes Paati, who attempts to enthuse him in countless ways but fails. But then Swami is intrigued by the resonant mystical music score of the Mahabharata as it plays on the screen that Paati avidly watches. Thus dawns a beautiful friendship between a granny and her grandson. More surprisingly, Swami's fertile and inquisitive mind twirls with Paati's age-old wisdom to draw incredible parallels between the two timeless epics. What striking comparisons do Swami, an eight-year-old hard-core Potter head and Paati, a sixty-eight-year-old Mahabharata enthusiast, unravel? How is the ‘double’ generation gap between Paati and Swami not only bridged but also cemented into an enviable bond of friendship… fastened together by the penchant for narratives? Look no further; read 'Wand meets Flute' to learn more!
