從孩子的視角描述離別與成長的堅強
某天,小女孩的爸爸對她說:「我們要坐飛機到一個新國家,住在新房子裡」,媽媽給了小女孩一個新的行李箱,對她說:「你可以把最喜歡的東西裝進行李箱裡。」
小女孩開始思考她要帶上什麼東西:她最喜歡的水族箱、爺爺幫她做的木頭椅,還有那位總是和她一起哼歌的校車司機,當然還有她最好的朋友——總是一直傾聽她說話的那個好朋友。
但令人難過的是,小女孩發現這些東西她都無法帶走。她走到平時最愛的海邊碼頭,突然,她有了一個好主意!女孩發現了一種無論身在何處,都能將珍愛 的事物永藏心中的方式……

★ “A gentle story about change, home, and the hope life hands us when we open our hearts to receive it.” ― Booklist, starred review
A beautifully simple story about moving to a new home, exploring themes of change and permanence and told with warm illustrations from an award-winning illustrator.
A young girl is moving to a new country, and there’s so much that she wants to bring: an aquarium, a pear tree, her best friend, the ocean. As she moves through the list of the things she loves, she comes to understand that while we cannot always carry things with us physically―maybe they can travel with us in other ways.
Told with warm illustrations by an award-winning picture book illustrator, My Favorite Memories offers parents and educators a gentle but impactful way to discuss the idea of resilience along with complex life events like immigration and moving to a new home.
