The passing along of oral history is one of our most valuable learning tools. Grandma, Tell Me About When You Were a Little Girl is a sweet conversation between a grandparent and grandchild that reveals a wealth of information. Through talking to her grandmother, the main character discovers what it was like growing up in the Appalachian Mountains many years ago. By comparing and contrasting modern versus not-so-modern times, author, Kristin Hale, inspires children to seek information from their own grandparents.
