I Was a Boy Just Like You

Book excerpt: A child is, as he should be, involved in a world of youthful activities and exciting new ideas. Though he may have a unique and special relationship with a grandparent, he may, in general, think of the elderly as "old". Young children have difficulty picturing, as older ones tend to forget, that the elderly were once children themselves, engaging in many of the same activities. This book lets the child see how alike grandparents and grandchildren really are.
