Traveling With Grandma - Karen Hutchins Pirnot - Bog

Katie Carson is an eight year old who is chock full of mischief and adventure. When she accidently discovers her grandmother's primitive time travel machine in Grandma's basement, her imagination begins to work overtime. Katie is determined to be a space traveler while her parents struggle with the repercussions of such an adventure. This is a family story of love, acceptance, responsibility and growth. While Grandma wants to live out her life with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, her three children argue for safety and security for their aging mother. The family dynamics are a growth process themselves and readers will gain a lot of wisdom to put to use in their own lives. On the pretense of having "sewing lessons," Katie learns patience, honesty, goal-setting and respect for her family. Katie's grandma does not lecture to teach; rather she lives her life in such a way that those who care to model her behaviors come away with a new outlook on life.
