Briefe an mein Enkelkind

by Liv Ullmann

A celebration of the bond between grandparents and grandchildren, these intimate and profoundly moving letters by some of the world's most prominent figures transcend all national divisions to embrace the unique meaning of family. Writing about truths that resonate in all of us, figures like Walter Cronkite, Barbara Bush, and Nadine Gordimer reflect on the experiences and values that shaped their own lives and the challenges they foresee for the next generation. More than a personal message to individual children, Letter to My Grandchild is a place of sharing from one generation to another and an extraordinary testament of wisdom and love to all children.
