Grandma Jan’s Seashells : a Gentle Story About Memory, Magic, and Love

Some days, Grandma Jan remembers. Some days, she forgets.

Grandma Jan’s Seashells is a gentle rhyming poem about a child’s love for a grandmother navigating memory loss. Through the magic of a colorful seashell collection — each shell named, each one a wish pressed into a child’s waiting hands — this poem tenderly captures the joy of summers shared and the quiet courage of loving someone whose memories are slowly fading.

Written for families, caregivers, and anyone who has ever needed to be reminded that love stays whole when memories flee.

This ebook contains the complete text of the poem by Irish Burrage. A fully illustrated edition is forthcoming.

Ages 3–7.
