The Grannie Annie's 19th Annual Collection, 2023/2024

The sixteen stories in The Grannie Annie’s nineteenth collection represent the 243 submissions received this year from young authors in seven U.S. states. The published stories took place in eight countries on four continents over a span of 150 years. Some stories involve historic events; others vividly depict everyday life from earlier times. Many people in these stories find themselves in particularly challenging — even life-threatening — circumstances. As family members meet their own challenges with courage, determination, ingenuity, and heroism, they often also strive to improve the lives of people around them.

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.

Connie McIntyre and Fran Hamilton, Directors of The Grannie Annie
