★ "A gentle story about change, home, and the hope life hands us when
we open our hearts to receive it." -- Booklist, starred review
A beautifully simple story about moving to a new home, exploring
themes of change and permanence and told with warm illustrations from an
award-winning illustrator.
A young girl is moving to a new country, and there's so much that she
wants to bring: an aquarium, a pear tree, her best friend, the ocean. As
she moves through the list of the things she loves, she comes to
understand that while we cannot always carry things with us
physically--maybe they can travel with us in other ways.
Told with warm illustrations by an award-winning picture book
illustrator, My Favorite Memories offers parents and educators a
gentle but impactful way to discuss the idea of resilience along with
complex life events like immigration and moving to a new home. Printed
on FSC-certified paper with vegetable-based inks.
