The Journal Book

This is the story of a Little Girl and her grandmother, Moga, and their discoveries of the world of outdoors. The grandmother was my first neighbor of my married life. We've been friends all these years, and now we're sharing grandmother stories.

Since the Little Girl was 2, she and her Moga have been going outside to discover something in the world. They take a picture, and while the Little Girl takes her nap, Moga prints it. After nap time they talk about the discovery, cut out the picture, paste it into a 'journal book,' and write a story.

Planting strawberries was a project that almost got rained out, but grandmothers are determined and resourceful. The porch became the setting, and rain boots the apparel. 

Here is the look of a successful 'special day'--a big mess and a tub of strawberry plants.

The Journal Book

The Little Girl has learned how to cut and paste.

'Now I write.'

This is a good beginning.
