Reseña del libro "The Visit to My Great Great Grandfather (en Inglés)"
Emily C. Frucci and her grandmother Pamela A. Frucci both grew up on Grosse Ile, Michigan. Pam's mother, Bernie Marsh, told her stories about her father Sheridan Howard growing up in Mendon, Michigan and she shared these stories with Emily. When Pam heard that Sarah Stewart and David Small, noted children's books author and illustrator, lived in Mendon, she wrote to them suggesting they do a children's book about her grandfather and his identical twin brother Sherman growing up in Mendon and retell some of those delightful stories she'd heard about their childhood. They suggested that Pam write the book. It seemed more logical to Pam that her granddaughter Emily should write the book. Emily was seven at that time. When her great great grandpa was seven, he learned to play a cigar box violin. Thus A Visit to My Great Great Grandpa, a collaboration between Emily and her Grandma Pam. Emily is going into fi fth grade at Parke Lane Elementary on Grosse Ile. She's an active sports-minded young lady, takes piano lessons, and loves to read. Her father Jay and mother Lisa both grew up on the Island where they live with their three daughters Emily,10, Libby,8, and Katie,5. Grandma Pam is a retired teacher who taught English, French, drama, and journalism in high school and physical education in grades fi rst through twelfth. She is also active in her community and was co-founder and editor of The Ile Camera, the community newspaper, at age 13.
