Download or read book Becoming Grandma written by Lesley Stahl and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times Bestseller From one of the country’s most recognizable journalists: 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.

Here's what people are saying about Great-Grandma's Gifts: I loved it! A sweet book about a mother/grandmother/great-grandmother's love for her family and how she uses her talents to create loving memories to give to each generation. The illustrations are especially enjoyable. Susan M. Toy, Reading Recommendations Great-Grandma's Gifts is exactly the kind of book that little girls will remember reading with their moms when they are older. It's cute and it's soft...but it's not 'just' cute and soft; there are deeper currents here involving family and love and generations and life itself. Get it, read it and then put it high enough on the shelf so that the kids can't rip it. You're going to want to hold onto this one for them. Paul Bachmeier, author of Barley the Elephant. It's a personal story that really connects with people. Jones has a way of making her own experiences relate across the boards. Grandmothers everywhere should pick this up to read to their grandchildren. And keep on-hand as yet another gift to pass down. Scott E. Chasty A beautiful tribute to a creative mom with creative daughters....the aspect on aging is quite well done. Passed it on... Gayle Willoughby. This is a very sweet story about a girl who loved to sew that grew up to be a great-grandmother. The illustrations are gorgeous. I really like how some of the words reflect what is being said (red is red, striped is striped, etc...). I really liked this because a lot of times kids don't think of adults as being children at one time! I teach early elementary and this will be a great addition to my classroom library. Jayna This is a sweet, lovely little book. The writing rolls off the tongue and I can see how easy it would be to read aloud to a child. Very nice. By timber9762 "timber9762" (Amazon reviewer.) Sweet generational story of grandma showing and passing on her love of pieces of fabric and sewing not just pieced quilts, but also clothing and soft cuddly remembered toys. Simple drawings and colors for a toddler to point and name and recognize. Albuquerque (Amazon reviewer.) My daughter and I read this book together. My daughter will be going into grade two this fall and found it a great read for her. She read most of it on her own with some help from myself so it helped challenge her but also help with words she already knows. My daughter loved the pictures and she thought it was really neat that Grandma was busy making clothes, toys and beautiful quilts for her children and grand children. We both enjoyed the font that were coloured different sizes. Some were also striped or polka dots. A great book to read with kids. I love that after all the years of making wonderful gifts that Grandma decided to take a rest at the lake! My daughter and I give this book 5 stars! Jennifer Levac, book blogger www.genuinejenn.com

I highly recommend this book as a catalyst for you to become inspired to explore and discover your own family history as you are enmeshed in "Worlds Intertwined"! Laura Pinkham, LCSW Educator and Clinical Social Worker "Family," "Mishbucha," "Familia," Family forms and informs us about whom we are And The impact we have on neighbors, villages, cities, countries, and entire civilizations. Family is the glue that holds us all together. Worlds Intertwined by Golda Fruchter Brunhild is a thoughtful, loving story about two families—their struggles, endurance, sacrifices, and compromises. Ultimately, however, its central importance is the relationship of each member To The social unit as a whole. As I read, I shed tears, laughed, was horrified, and delighted by this personal narrative and its vividly described characters. They were real. Ms. Brunhild's book is an indescribable legacy for her family and descendants. I would wish all could be so fortunate as to know the history of our parent's and grandparent's past. Maybe her book will be an impetus to others to cozy up to their laptop, computer, legal pad, or notebook and begin writing their memories to share with their families. I am so grateful that she has chosen to also share them with her readers. Rebecca Stone, M.S., Community Development University of Maryland. (and single mother of an adopted special needs son.)
