What about you today?
Today
You are part of history too. Today, what you draw, what you learn and what you tell will become a memory. Later, someone will love to hear it.
Look together
Which memory would you like to share?
An idea to try
Your child draws a recent memory. Write down the approximate date and their exact words, then discuss which parts happened and which were imagined.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
This final page reflects the present of the child reading the book. It imagines a child and grandparent sharing memories. It is neither an account of a dated event nor a review of the publication year. The book’s editorial cutoff remains stated in the adult pages.
Help your child distinguish what they remember, what someone else tells them and what they invent in play. All three ways of storytelling have a place when they are named clearly. An outing, meeting or newly learned action can become a drawing. The book invites children to join a conversation about the past.
