Granny Beads

By Lisa Trawick Smith

Granny Beads is a story written in poetic rhyme about a four-year-old, wild-haired boy who is determined to find the precious granny beads his mother seems to always talk about. What do they look like? Why are they so special? Despite his persistent hunting, Mom finds them at the end of a long day’s search.
Granny Beads will gain the interest of children and adults alike as the “granny beads” spoken about in the story have been “found” throughout the ages. Young readers will identify with the boy’s curiosity, and older readers will reminisce on times when their own children were little.
