The Grannie Annie's 18th Annual Collection, 2022/2023

The sixteen stories in The Grannie Annie’s eighteenth collection, represent the 155 submissions received this year from young authors in five U.S. states. The published stories took place on three continents and two islands over a span of nearly 100 years. Some stories involve historic events; others vividly depict everyday life from earlier times. Many stories show family members seeking a better life — perhaps struggling simply to survive — and trying to improve the lives of others. Readers can draw enjoyment and inspiration from these stories, each of which has a definite connection to our own experiences in today’s world.

Our volunteer readers chose these stories with you and your family in mind, yet you may want to preview the stories before sharing them with young or sensitive readers.

We’re so pleased that you’ve joined us! We encourage you to discover and preserve some stories from your own family’s history. And we hope that you’ll join us again next year for The Grannie Annie Family Story Celebration.

Connie McIntyre and Fran Hamilton, Directors of The Grannie Annie
