Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-A moving treatise on how the past and present intertwine. The book opens with the young, unnamed protagonist in the present, enjoying time in the blueberry bushes at her grandmother's house. At the same time, she is also remembering a camping trip with her mother. Subsequent pages describe her grandmother, mother, and even their cat's current activities, as well as a past memory they are pondering. A heartwarming conclusion of celebrated interconnectedness follows, sure to spark discussion among readers about memories, time, and more. In this story, Goodale tackles what can be a complex topic and presents it in an accessible, approachable manner for young readers. Double-page spreads of colorful mixed media illustrations use an alternating color scheme to limn past versus the present. The back matter includes a recipe for making blueberry ink. VERDICT. A multigenerational masterpiece, and outstanding addition to any collection.-Olivia Gorecke, Cape May Cty. Lib., Ocean View, NJα(c) Copyright 2011.

Review

★“A multigenerational masterpiece, and outstanding addition to any collection.” — School Library Journal (starred review)

★“[A] telescopic story about three generations’ worth of blueberry-related childhood recollections. Delicate paintings of past and present carefully echo one another. . . .a layered conclusion offers another framing, evoking the way place and circumstance can yield connection.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

★"Also is sure to prompt conversations about meaningful memories between adult readers and young listeners, while its subtext—that people and places we love are always with us in our hearts—offers quiet comfort to children experiencing loss. Also is a colorful portrait of three generations of mothers and daughters and the bonds they share." — BookPage (starred review)

“Goodale presents a gentle rumination on space and time, memory, and the enduring love of family.”  — Horn Book Magazine

“A simple but profound meditation on memory and its power to foster continuity and connectedness.”  — Kirkus Reviews

“This book looks at the interplay of experience and memory in our minds. The text is succinct and matter-of-fact, while the illustrations, created using monotype, gouache, and blueberry ink, imaginatively depict present and past events … with the present in full color and the past in … shades of purple.”

This is an unusual topic for a children's book- the mingling of memories with the present moment-but skillfully managed and beautifully illustrated.
