This book was not at all what I thought it would be about. I was thinking it was going to be a silly story. This was my daughter's "B" selection last week.
Annie's family is all together for a birthday or a holiday and they are telling stories from the past. This fascinates Annie. She wants to know all about her family before she was born. Her Grandma helps her search of the family "memorabilia" -That means things that help you remember the past.
Together they make a scrapbook and Annie writes down what everyone has to say about the pictures and items. It was a really cute story about remembering the past. It's important that that book does not end. There it has blank pages to hold the future.
I thought it was fantastic story with a good postive message.
