透過祖孫間溫暖的對話與回憶盒裡的小物件，孩子聽見了奶奶年輕時的故事。她不只是溫柔的奶奶，也曾是個懷抱夢想、擁有不同生活的女孩。本書細膩描繪家庭間代代相傳的記憶與情感。From celebrated illustrator Giselle Potter, a beautiful and memorable story about the special bond between a grandparent and a grandchild. Whenever I visit my grandmother Alice, we love sitting together and telling each other stories. My favorite part is when she takes out her box of special things and we pass them back and forth. Each object--a doll, a sketchbook, shells and stones, and more--is a clue to a bigger story: the story of her life before she was my grandmother. Before she was my grandmother, she too was a young girl, with a life very different from my own. Little by little, the stories she tells and the objects she shares from her memory box reveal the many facets of her life, along with her great spirit, with its many colors and tones. Written and illustrated by the award-winning picture book maker Giselle Potter, Before She Was My Grandmother celebrates strong and loving family connections
