My Grandfather Is A Navy Man

My Grandfather is a Navy Man is a touching, often humorous rendering of family stories involving the author's beloved grandfather, Pepere. The accounts are delivered from the perspective of a child, and although seemingly lighthearted on the surface, are imbedded with poignant, meaningful clarity. Illustrated with vintage photography, the book serves as an example for its accompanying educational project; kids are asked to choose their own 'special person' to interview and honor via a presentation of their choice. Guidelines, ideas, and suggested prompts are included. The author encourages creativity and imagination, advising that the projects be as unique as the person and stories they tribute. It is the first in a series of books with student-centered projects the author is developing.
