The Copper Tin Cup
Sammy Carl sits at the window, sipping cocoa from his favorite cup, a cup made of unbreakable copper and tin with his initials carved in. But not his initials only. They are also Mama's -- Mama who held garden parties for her dolls and sipped lemonade from the cup. They are Grandpa's initials -- Grandpa who lifted the cup off its hook in the old blue cupboard before milking Hedda, the cow. They are the initials of Grandpa's oldest sister, who drank from the cup -- crafted by her father and engraved by her mother -- during the long sea journey to the family's new home. Sammy Carl's cup is a copper tin family cup.The Copper Tin Cup will inspire families everywhere to explore and celebrate their own unique heritage.

This warm, caring story is used to demonstrate that many special items have a long and special history. It made me think of items that have been passed down to me. I wonder where or how they originated. It would be a wonderful idea to start a family tradition. Great reading with a child or in a classroom that is discussing family heritage.
