"Winner of the WordWeaving Award for Excellence
With a majestic grace we are reminded that with loss comes sorrow, but memory offers comfort and joy.
The beauty of the illustrations underscores the beauty of the message in Grandma's Scrapbook. Illustrator Maureen Hyde brings her love of classical art to bear with her own fluid style, creating illustrations that look and feel like snapshots out of time yet are rich with intensity and emotion. Likewise, Josephine Nobisso pens a poignant tale of memory and joy captured in the pages of a scrapbook and shared through generations. Children will warm to this poignant tale, wishing to create their own scrapbook of priceless memories. Destined to become a classic, Grandma's Scrapbook comes very highly recommended."
