Grandpa, Tell Me About Freemasonry is a warm, illustrated introduction to Freemasonry for young children ages 5–8.
Through simple conversations between Grandpa and his grandson Hiram, children are introduced to the ideas behind the Craft in a way they can understand. Rather than focusing on complicated history, ritual, or symbolism, the book explores the values Freemasons try to practice every day—kindness, honesty, responsibility, friendship, learning, helping others, and becoming a better person.
Hiram asks the kinds of questions children naturally ask:
Why do you wear that ring?
Why do you go to Lodge?
What is an apron for?
Why do Masons use tools as symbols?
Why is helping other people so important?
Grandpa answers each question gently and honestly, using familiar examples from home, school, family, and everyday life.
Each lesson combines an illustrated story with a simple explanation of a Masonic idea, followed by activities designed especially for younger readers. Children may complete mazes, coloring pages, matching activities, simple puzzles, drawing exercises, and personal challenges that help connect each lesson to their own lives.
Throughout the book, “Builder Thoughts” reinforce one central message: becoming a better person happens a little at a time through the choices we make and the way we treat others.
The book does not attempt to teach Masonic ritual or reveal anything intended for members of the fraternity. Instead, it gives children a friendly look at what Freemasonry means to the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, family friends, and other Masons in their lives.
Designed in a large 8½ × 11 format, Grandpa, Tell Me About Freemasonry provides plenty of room for its colorful illustrations and hands-on activities.
It is ideal for:
• Masonic parents and grandparents who want to explain the Craft to a child
• Families with a Mason in their lives
• Lodge family events and youth activities
• Gifts from Lodges to members with young children or grandchildren
• Anyone looking for a simple, positive introduction to the values associated with Freemasonry
At its heart, this is not a book about buildings, meetings, or symbols.
It is a book about learning to build something much more important:
good character.
