Something to Remember Me By by bestselling author Susan V. Bosak is a heartwarming story about love and legacies across generations.

"I want to give you something to remember me by..."

Each time a young girl visits her grandmother, the visit ends with the grandmother's familiar words. Then she gives her granddaughter a small keepsake, along with a "big, warm smile and a warm, snuggly hug."

As the years pass, the grown granddaughter comes to understand the significance of all the things she has received from her grandmother. It becomes clear that the most precious gift of all is the gift of love.

One reviewer describes the book as having "the emotion of Love You Forever and the nostalgic charm of a Norman Rockwell painting." The story's message is timeless.

The story is beautifully complemented by the evocative, richly-detailed, golden watercolor illustrations of award-winning artist Laurie McGaw.

It's the little things that matter most and make the memories that endure - a smile, a hug, a simple touch of the hand. Something to Remember Me By moves you each and every time you read it, and leaves you with a smile. A meaningful gift to share with your child, grandchild, mother and grandmother.
