10 Questions for Grandma

“10 Questions for Grandma” is a keepsake book built from ten questions answered in your grandma's own words. It invites her to share stories from her girlhood, the home and traditions she grew up with, the people who shaped her, and the memories and values she hopes your family will keep. The very last question is written completely by you and printed exactly in your own words, so the final page of this book holds a question that only you would ask.
