Wonderful Grandparents
Martin & Sylvia's Family Tree of Stories

Three generations of Martin and Sylvia’s family gather together for Sylvia’s first-ever dance recital – and Martin has an idea: “Let’s record stories about big events from everyone’s childhood!”

This audiobook will inspire your children (and you) to seek out and collect childhood stories from all generations – so they can not only see where they come from, but bring family lessons into their own life.
