Love, Grandma: Activists Write

Cultural Writing. Letters. LOVE, GRANDMA is a moving collection of letters to grandchildren telling the stories of how their grandparents have come to their anti- war beliefs. With warmth, sadness, fear, anger, courage, and hope, they tell of experiences that led to their life-long activism against the futility of war. Family stories present young readers with a moral stand against war and promote multi-generational conversations about peace, violence, and justice. Honest accounts of the realities of deadly conflict encourage younger people to question prevailing cultural attitudes of "the enemy." LOVE, GRANDMA provides a new facet of family history and illustrates how family affection and compassion are easily expanded to the entire human family.
