Grandma, Tell Me More: Fishing with Grandpa Beattie Pont

Grandma Tell Me More Set in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Grandma Tell Me More is a collection of stories like the ones your own grandmother might tell of summers in the country where time is slower and life is simpler. The book tells about twins Ava and Joey's summer at their grandparents' cottage . . . from going fishing with Grandpa, learning to whistle, picking blueberries and baking blueberry buns, to spending a rainy day indoors. Filled with wonderful descriptive detail, you can see the puffs of dust flying behind Grandpa's car as he drives up the country road and smell the sweet scent in the air after a summer storm. These are gentle stories that tickle the soul of the child that lives inside us all. Anyone who has summered in the Laurentians will know the place. Those who don't, will wish they did.
