all. In Grandma Says: Wake Up, World!, Agnes Baker Pilgrim, the

that is simple in nature and profound in scope. Through story and
the history of her people, she demonstrates that the challenges we
face as a global people can be solved by communing with nature and
each other. Each page brought a smile to face as she expressed
simple truths with kindness, grace, and humility. A must-read for

"This audiobook is a series of recordings by the oldest living
member of the Takelma tribe of Oregon, known as 'Grandma Aggie.'
Grandma Aggie tells the story of her life authentically and
organically--in genuine storytelling fashion--not reading from a
script or book. As she talks about her life, she conveys her
positive attitude and gratitude. She offers advice on how to live
well, voices her opinions on drugs and violence, and shows her
determination to protect the environment...One feels as if Grandma
Aggie, an elder of the First Nation, is giving us stories that are
vital to our future."-- "AudioFile"
