Grandpa's Story: A Memory and Keepsake Journal for My Family (Heirloom Story Books and Guided Journals)

What is Grandpa's Story: A Memory and Keepsake Journal for My about?

Grandpa's Story is a fill-in keepsake journal handed to a grandfather to write in and kept by the family afterward. Guided prompts move chronologically through a life: parents and grandparents, childhood and school, first jobs and working or military years, courtship and marriage, raising children, and becoming a grandfather. Between the writing pages are spaces for photographs, a family tree, and shorter prompts about favorites, beliefs, and the advice he wants passed on. It asks for no writing experience — each page poses one question and leaves room for an answer of any length. The book is built as an heirloom object rather than a workbook, on the same keepsake pattern as Korie Herold's other guided journals.

Korie Herold is a hand-lettering artist and designer whose guided keepsake books, among them As You Grow, Growing You, and Grandma's Story, are built around fill-in prompts and archival-quality materials.
