Book – a work that pays tribute to all grandparents, especially those who, during lockdown periods, were deprived of their grandchildren's company. It brings together a collection of narratives written to remember how grandparents touched all our lives.
Lockdowns – during the pandemic, grandparents could no longer care for their grandchildren, and grandchildren could no longer receive their affection. The distance was bridged with technologies which, despite being useful, did not replace a lullaby, the comfort of a lap, the tenderness of a hug, or other gestures that only physical presence allows.
Stories – 58 authors, residing in various regions of Portugal and other countries, wrote texts evoking their grandparents and sharing memories of their relationship with them. The texts reveal emotional bonds, local traditions, different eras and ways of life, complementing each other in content and the joy of sharing.
