Product Details

Praise

“A master of mood. . . Smith shows that, at any age, shared memories like theirs can help tilt the balance from present-day fearfulness to hope for the future. So can this book.”— The New York Times
 
“Meditative and moving. . . Mr. Smith has a remarkable talent for capturing light in his paintings, so that even in depicting scenes of melancholy he brings to them a kind of redemptive luminosity.”—The Wall Street Journal
 
“A sweet story about recognizing in a moment that the moment is going to be a core memory.”—Smithsonian Magazine

★ “The author delicately and triumphantly creates a book worth remembering. . . Readers and listeners alike will be heartened by the lesson of using memories from the past to envision dreams for the future.”School Library Journal, Starred Review

★ “This hushed and deeply tender story will spark many conversations.”The Horn Book, Starred Review
 
★ “Strong emotion is conveyed through effective illustrations and book design. . .  The undertone of sadness is ever present but so is the feeling of hope. The design and details in the illustrations ask readers to proceed slowly, think beyond what is stated, and construct their own interpretations of story and memory.”—Booklist, Starred Review

★ “A loving familial portrait that envisions intentionality around the process of memory-making.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
 
★ “An immensely satisfying glimpse of a family’s ability to navigate challenges through honest conversation and mutual support.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“Sydney Smith beautifully captures all the fear and hope that comes with change in this heartfelt picture book about remembering and starting anew.” —BookPage
