Does a feather remember it once was a bird? Does a book remember it once was a word? When a feather drifts through a child’s window, a magical journey begins. As the boy follows the feather, he is swept away to a world filled with adorable animals, where fantasy and reality come together in surprising and playful ways. From the cake that once was grain to the ocean that once was rain, whimsical “before” and “after” scenes offer readers a peek at the world as seen through the eyes of a curious child, ultimately asking the question, “What will you remember?” Nina Laden’s poetic and cleverly woven text is perfectly paired with bestselling artist Renata Liwska’s captivating illustrations. Together they create a story that will keep readers enchanted long after the journey has ended.
This is such a sweet book. I love that it shows where things came from or started, and also love that this book prompts you to think about the potential in things and people around you. I particularly like one of the last pages, after the story ends, when it asks, "What are some of your favorite things to remember?"
So sweet, calm and peaceful, this reflective book combines soft illustrations and thoughtful questions to remind us of where things began and the infinite potential of small things.
