Grandma, Tell Me More: Fishing with Grandpa

By Beattie Pont

Grandma Tell Me More

Set in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Grandma Tell Me More is a collection of stories like the ones your own grandmother might tell of summers in the country where time is slower and life is simpler. The book tells about twins Ava and Joey's summer at their grandparents' cottage from going fishing with Grandpa, learning to whistle, picking blueberries and baking blueberry buns, to spending a rainy day indoors. Filled with wonderful descriptive detail, you can see the puffs of dust flying behind Grandpa's car as he drives up the country road and smell the sweet scent in the air after a summer storm. These are gentle stories that tickle the soul of the child that lives inside us all. Anyone who has summered in the Laurentians will know the place. Those who don't, will wish they did.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

At the age of 91 and legally blind, Beattie Pont learned to use a computer in realizing her dream of writing children’s books.

Beattie grew up in Montreal and after 40 years in California where she raised a family, returned to Montreal where she now lives. As a child, her father had built a little cottage in the Laurentian mountains north of Montreal where the family would summer each year, the men typically driving up on the weekends after the work week to join the women and children in the country. Successive generations spent summers at that little cottage which has since passed on to other families, but the memories of those summers live on in the stories of the pages of Grandma Tell Me More.
