Mein Grosi ist ein Schlitzohr

What feelings do memories of one's grandparents evoke? What do the stories of old times that our grandparents repeatedly tell us still say to us today? Such questions arise when young authors engage with their memories of their grandparents and their stories. When a grandmother recounts her childhood, the grandchild realizes that their grandma was just as mischievous as they are. A granddaughter suddenly understands why her grandmother has a fondness for Spain, and another granddaughter recognizes through her memories of her community garden grandma the shared love for nature. However, not only similarities but also differences emerge in the exchange of memories: What our grandparents experienced in the past was exciting. But when discussing women's rights, it is certainly not bad to live in the present. In this collection of stories, it is the grandchild generation that wants to process and make comprehensible the memories and experiences of their grandparents in writing. Not only the past is considered, but the present is also reflected upon, and the future is looked toward. Due to its intergenerational approach, the book is worth reading for all age groups from young adulthood onward. The stories are also excellent for reading aloud to older people. It includes both shorter and longer stories that can be presented in 5-15 minutes.
