TAODA Storybook VII Exhibit
Obviously, I’m drawn to faces with character. No princesses
here. I like age and how it adorns the face. So, when the next
storybook opportunity came up, I searched for a story involving
a person of considerable age and came across this book. This is
a very sweet story about how a young boy helped an old woman regain
her “memories.” In her arms, she holds all of the things
the young boy had brought her to help her remember, including seashells,
a medal, a football, and egg and a puppet. Read the story, but
have a tissue handy, just in case.
