Letters from Bum Bum

This book consists of a series of personal essays, which are in the form of letters from a grandfather to his grandchildren. These essays are, meant to tell about the author's life to three granddaughters, who were three-and-a-half years old, one-and-a-half years old, and newborn when this book was written. The first essay explains how the name "e;Bum Bum"e; in the title came about. Other essays talk about the author's childhood, schooling, work, travels, and his efforts to get to know his granddaughters. While these essays are written with a wider audience in mind, it is hoped that someday Isa, Lari, and Gia will read them and remember the special times they shared with Bum Bum long ago.
