About the Book
I remember passing a preschool’s logo that read, “Find Grandma’s Love at Knee Cole’s Learning Center.” Grandma’s Love was the pitch. The term “Grandma” did not necessarily refer to the biological grandmother, but to the character which society had accepted as being a responsible, caring and sharing, mature, aged lady. This character may describe a calm, loving personality, but please remember that “Grandma was no pushover!” She would give you her last, but accepted no disrespect! Maybe this is how the name “Big Mama” came into being. There were many cases when Grandma or Big Mama may have been in error, but because of the love she had given to everyone, her motives were never challenged because of her commitment to the family. Keep this in mind as you reminisce about the mobility of today’s families in our society.
We are no longer living in the days when the married/single parents can always count on the assistance of extended family members and Grandma/Big Mama. Childcare assistants were never a danger or worry. The children were always happy and safe. Sometimes childcare was required for a few hours, at other times, maybe overnight. Parents and Big Mama began preparing the children for school very early. Hear me now: preparing children for school did not necessarily refer to all academic preparation. Many households referred to “academic preparation” as secondary school preparation. Parents were fully committed to instilling a sense of value and fundamental commitment within their children that expressed the uniqueness of their family to the public. These values would distinguish or set them apart from the “other folks.” Children left home with a sense of pride representing their parents, family, church, and the community in which they lived……..
