The Granddaughter Necklace
Illustrated By Bagram Ibatoulline
About this book
An uplifting tale of love, kinship, and gifts, passed down through generations.There are moments in each person's life that we take great care to remember: the pride of a young girl standing up for herself for the first time; the heartbreak of leaving one's country and family for a new beginning; the thrill of getting ready for the piano recital of a lifetime.
In Sharon Dennis Wyeth's family these moments were marked with the passing on of the Granddaughter Necklace: not a fancy piece of jewellery, but a precious one, worn smooth by the touch of mothers and grandmothers, each with her own story to tell.
