The Memory String by Eve Bunting
Each button on Laura s memory string represents a piece of her family history. The buttons Laura cherishes the most belonged to her mothera button from her prom dress, a white one off her wedding dress, and a single small button from the nightgown she was wearing on the day she died. When the string breaks, Laura s new stepmother, Jane, is there to comfort Laura and search for a missing button, just as Laura s mother would have done. But it s not the sameJane isn t Mom. In Eve Bunting s moving story, beautifully illustrated by Ted Rand, Laura discovers that a memory string is not just for remembering the past: it s also for recording new memories.| SKU | Unavailable |
