Grandpa's Gift is based on my life at a very young age. With my students enjoying the stories about what life was like when I was growing up, I decided that I needed a book so they could have the pictures in their head. There were no books, to my knowledge, that had illustrations of the various events that I wanted the children to know about. Although we had the Laura Ingalls Wilder books for the older students, there were only a few for the younger student that related to the times, and they did not cover the material that I wanted to use. Henry takes the place of me in the story. His Grandfather is not in good health and loves to talk about what life was like when he was young. Most young people do not like to hear about the old days, but Henry loved to listen to his grandpa talk. Some of the things you will love to see are: wash tubs, pumps, outhouses, the general store, children's games, the one room school house, union suits, cellars or storm houses, and just the every day life of an earlier time.
