Early Lessons From Grandma: The Night Before a Special Day by Debi LeFaye offers a heartwarming glimpse into the wisdom passed down from one generation to the next. Drawing from her cherished childhood memories, LeFaye shares the lessons her grandmother taught her in preparation for a special day. The book recounts how LeFaye’s grandmother used meaningful symbols—like a star and pearls—to inspire growth, resilience, and positivity. For instance, the star symbolizes the light and strength within us, while pearls, compared to life’s "irritants," serve as a metaphor for transforming challenges into beauty. Her grandmother also introduced her to the concept of a “blessed bath,” teaching the importance of cleansing not just the body but also the mind and spirit.
Debi LeFaye crafted an endearing and deeply moving tribute to the enduring power of love, care, and mentorship.

The grandmother’s dedication to helping her granddaughter grow into a better person each day is both inspiring and humbling. LeFaye’s intention to honor her grandmother by sharing these lessons with her grandchildren and young readers shines through on every page. If you are searching for inspiration on how to empower and uplift future generations, you will benefit from reading Early Lessons from Grandma: The Night Before a Special Day.
