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 "Bum Bum" 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.
