Silly and sentimental, I Remember... is a collection of poetry based on childhood memories: spending time with grandparents, building forts, playing T-ball, not making it to the bathroom on time, etc. The hope of the book is to inspire the readers’ own memories.

Book Reviews:
"The book is simple and sweet; you just can't help but smile."
- On-The-Town Magazine
“It’s the little things that Kammeraad remembers. He reflects on time spent with his grandmother, camping, building forts, sledding and even breaking an arm. He remembers how he made sandwiches after school, how he struck out in his first at-bat on the Cub Scout softball team, how he played a sheep in the Christmas play. This is a wonderful, light-hearted look at life for children 8 and up. It’s written to be read aloud, and doing so will certainly prompt a few chuckles from kids and adults alike.”
