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.

From the Publisher
Says one reviewer, "‘Something to Remember Me By’ has the emotion of ‘Love You Forever’, the inspiration of ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’, and the beauty of a Norman Rockwell painting."
This seemingly simple little story about love and legacies across generations has captured hearts across the country and won six national awards:
* American Bookseller "Pick of the Lists"
* Benjamin Franklin Award as "Best Children’s Book"
* Parents’ Choice Recommended
* Parent Council "Outstanding" selection
* Children’s Book Center "Our Choice"
* Joan Fassler Book Award
"Something to Remember Me By" tells the universal tale of a little girl and her grandmother and the happy times and warm, snuggly hugs they share. Many visits end as the grandmother gives her granddaughter a small keepsake as "something to remember me by." As the years pass, the grandmother grows older and it is the grown granddaughter who then gives to her grandmother. In the end, it’s clear that both young and old have something special to give each other, and the most important gift we can all give is our love. This story inspires both children and adults to treasure and make the most of moments today that will become the memories of tomorrow. It's the perfect way to say, "I love you."
This moving story is written by bestselling author Susan V. Bosak (her book "Science Is...", Scholastic, has just been re-released) and richly illustrated with detailed, golden watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Laurie McGaw ("Polar The Titanic Bear", Little Brown).
Here are more samples from the many great reviews the book has received:
