When Grandma Was a Little Girl

“When Grandma Was a Little Girl” is a hand-written and beautifully illustrated collection of reminisces of growing up on a farm on the Saskatchewan prairies in the mid-1900’s.

Sit with author Joyce Anders Sproule as she immerses us in her childhood, and shows us what it was like for children to do chores, care for animals, tend a garden, go to school, play, and wonder about the world outside of the farm. The joys of dances, music, skating, and cloud-gazing -- as well as the dangers of close calls -- and the atmosphere of World War II are all remembered by the author and shared with today’s reader.

Sproule captures the innocence, curiosity and bravado of childhood in a whimsical, heartfelt, and beautifully illustrated family memoir that is a joy to read with your children and grandchildren.
