From the creator of Small in the City and the illustrator of Town Is by the Sea and Sidewalk Flowers, comes a moving look at how memories are made.
Tucked in bed at a new apartment, a boy and his mother trade memories. Some are idyllic, like a picnic with Dad, but others are more surprising: a fall from a bike into soft piled hay, the smell of an old oil lamp when a rainstorm blew the power out.
Now it's just the two of them, and the house where all of those memories happened is far away.
But maybe someday, this will be a favourite memory, too: happy and sad, an end and a beginning intertwined.
Do You Remember? is another unforgettable book from award-winning author and illustrator Sydney Smith.
