Note to Parents and Educators

Prepare to race and dive, gallop, collide, and disappear into . . . the pages of this sixth collection of Grannie Annie family stories!

You’ll hear the screech of a playground whistle and the ricochet of bullets, set a trap for St. Nick — and catch a look you don’t deserve. You’ll find bravery at the old swimming hole and at the border, and when the trip is over you’ll find love waiting for you on the old porch swing.

This year’s journey — through 300 years of world history — proceeds chronologically: The first story in this collection takes place on the back of a bull in 1665; the final story brings you up to date with one of several “recent” — and memorable — immigration stories. This year’s stories take place in fourteen countries on four continents — and in international waters!

Please note that all the stories published this year — all the stories in the Vol. 6 paperback book and the Vol. 6 PDF book — are available below. (See Story Titles and Authors, Vol. 6, to learn which stories appear in each book.) Also, please know that while the published Grannie Annie stories are intended for family members of all ages, you may want to screen the stories for sensitive or younger readers.

Happy reading! May your horizons be broadened. May you be inspired, challenged, and entertained. May you go on to discover (and share) a family story of your own . . . and then join us again next year for The Grannie Annie Family Story Celebration!
