The night before Dawn Wynne’s first child was born, her grandmother passed away.  Wishing her daughter Giovanna to hear the same stories she heard growing up prompted Wynne to write “I Remember When … ”

A nostalgic children’s board book, “I Remember When …” features illustrations of a grandmother reading to her grandchildren, demonstrating how life was simpler with rotary phones, record players, TVs in black and white with antennas, car seats in the front of the car without seat belts and other items from the past.
