Description
A luminous story brings the scope of a lifetime into focus for young readers, filling it with the magic of gifts given and received. On her eighth birthday, Maude buries a secret at the foot of a flowering dogwood, containing a tiny toy elephant, a marble like a tiger's eye, a bird's nest with purple string woven through the twigs, and more - a special box waiting for the right moment to be opened again. This enchantingly illustrated book celebrates intergenerational relationships and the secret treasures of childhood. It is a joyful celebration of family love, connection, and the power of memory with poignancy and care. The warmth between a grandmother and her granddaughter serves as a beautiful model of the little moments that form fond memories and build lasting relationships. In these unpredictable times, gentle stories have the power to reassure little ones that the most important things in life are still right in our hands. This beautifully illustrated picture book is a reassuring and magical tale for young readers and adults alike.
