Do-It-Yourself Alphabet Book
Excerpt from “Why Knot?” Buy the book at Amazon
As a present for my first grandchild, Adela, when she was two years old, I assembled an alphabet book, with pictures of family members, friends, toys, etc. I included cousins, aunts, and uncles whom she saw rarely because they lived far away. The result was a time-capsule keepsake, a snapshot of the extended family at one point in time.
On the righthand page, a group photo appeared, with the question, “Where is ____?” Turn the page and you would see that person in closeup, with the words “Here is ____.”
The solo shots were in alphabetical order. The number of pages per letter was unlimited, so no one was left out because a letter was taken.
The last group photo had the question, “Where is Adela?” When she turned the page, she saw a mirror with the caption “Here is Adela.”
