  This is a beautifully written book about a relationship between a granddaughter and a grandmother. The book starts out with the grandmother slowly giving her granddaughter items to remember her by. As the granddaughter grows older, she still keeps in contact with her grandmother and her grandmother continues to send her granddaughter things to remember her by. As time goes on, the grandmother starts to grow older and she begins to forget things and she relies on her granddaughter's help. The grandmother begins to worry that her granddaughter will forget her, but the granddaughter takes out an old picture of them both to remember them by.
  
  This book is a great book to talk about theme with. On the last page, it talks about the theme of leaving a legacy, and it sparked a great conversation with my students. The students were able to pick out pieces of evidence that support the idea that the theme was having a lasting legacy and remembering who your family is.

  Loved it. Was to my daughter from my grama. All the activities they did together were what my grama did too. I didnt like that the grama told the granddaughter "It's something to remember me by" every time she gave the granddaughter a gift. I would not say that because it kind of insinuate that the person you say it to would forget you. But they won't. And the grandma told the granddaughter that she wanted to be remembered. Anyways, I didn't like all this until I got to the end, and the grandma got Alzheimer's, and she was afraid she wouldn't remember who the granddaughter was, saw the granddaughter gave her a picture of the two of them together, and told her, this is something to remember me by. Then the story came full circle and I loved it.

  Sentimental story about the relationship of grandmother and granddaughter through the years, and how it evolves. The "something to remember me by" changes over time, and while the illustrations were not personally my cup of tea, they fit the tone of the story.

  This is unbelievable. I judge books like this harshly—sentimental picture books with grandmothers and such…I mean, this looks like it is straight out of a church library. Not that there is anything wrong with church libraries. It just strikes me as a bit, well…ornate. And if there is anything I like to mock, it is the ornate.
  
  But this book pulled me in. It overrode my cynicism. I think I cried a little. I don’t want to harp on this any longer than I must, so I will just say that this book is awesome and I’m not ashamed to say it.

  This is a beautiful Book, and I really enjoyed reading it. If I get to see my granddaughters who live a long way from me. I will take it with me to read to them.
  
  It was given to Holly Elizabeth on her first Easter April 4, 1999 by her Grammie, who wrote a little note to her in the front of the book. It was donated to a second hand store with a bunch of books, I removed it from a dumpster in ? ?. It still looks brand new. I wondered if it ended up there by accident. If it belongs to you or one of your family please message me here.
  Todays Date is 09-25-2015. I found it about 3 years ago.

  This is a book written in story book form, and can be read to children, but it will take an adult to truly understand the message from the book.
  
  This book starts out as a young girl goes to visit her grandmother, and ends as an adult whose grandmother has dementia, but through it all, the grandmother has given her granddaughter something to remember her by. I absolutely loved this book as I have memories of two grandmothers who I love dearly.

  The book hit too close to home and made me cry. I don't know how I will read this to my class. Grandma's are special.

  A must to share with several generations in a family...sad, true and necessary to help you all talk about who holds what memories to items you may want someday.

  Yes, the first time I read it, I was choked up near the end and having a hard time reading. My daughter: "Mom? Mom! Are you crying?'
