Gifts is celebrating 25 years in print! The award winning story of a travelling Grandma written by Jo Ellen Bogart has a fresh new cover look in honour of this milestone.
The book has travelled as much as Grandma over the years. Jo Ellen and I took it on the road when Gifts was a TD Grade One Book Giveaway and over half a million copies were given to grade one students across Canada. It has been published in Korea, Spain, Egypt and Portugal. Scholastic Canada included it in a book donation to the Creation of Hope founded by author Eric Walters in support of orphans in Kenya. Canadian author and globe trotting grandma herself, Margriet Ruurs added a copy to a travelling library in Mongolia. Where will Grandma travel next? Cheers to continued happy trails!
