From leaving Ireland and Scotland and sailing across the Atlantic ocean, to a concert hall in New York City, to raising sheep on their family farm, Merna's family has had many adventures to share. Come join Merna's granddaugh­ter as she retells these stories and shares some recipes and songs, too. Meet their fun loving sheep dog, Sam, who has been known to wear Merna's brightly colored hand knit socks! This is a wonderful read out loud book for bedtime. There are good Home School or after school activities at the back of the book as well. Everyone's family is different, but the best part of all of our families is love.
