""In today's world, we have done little to ensure that our children are knowledgeable of their ancestors, especially their history, culture, values, and why they came to this country and settled where they did. Now, most families have relatives on both coasts or our northern and southern borders. It's hard to keep in touch, especially when children grow up and go their own separate ways. There was a time when grandchildren and grandparents either lived together or visited more often. My hope is that this book will instill a strong desire for children to learn about their grandparents (bubbes and zaydes) and develop a deep and lasting bond.""
