The Memory String -- Eve Bunting, Paperback

Each button on Laura's memory string represents a piece of her family history. The buttons Laura cherishes the most belonged to her mother--a button from her prom dress, a white one off her wedding dress, and a single small button from the nightgown she was wearing on the day she died. When the string breaks, Laura's new stepmother, Jane, is there to comfort Laura and search for a missing button, just as Laura's mother would have done. But it's not the same--Jane isn't Mom. In Eve Bunting's moving story, beautifully illustrated by Ted Rand, Laura discovers that a memory string is not just for remembering the past: it's also for recording new memories.Author: Eve BuntingPublisher: Clarion BooksPublished: 09/08/2015Pages: 40Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.35lbsSize: 9.80h x 9.80w x 0.20dISBN: 9780544555471Audience: Ages 4-8Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 2.9Point Value: 0.5Interest Level: Lower GradeQuiz #/Name: 43558 / Memory StringAbout the AuthorEve Bunting has written more than tw
