Today I was given a wonderful gift. The gift of a book is one of the greatest gift's you could give someone as it can open so many doors. Now, I could go on and on about this book and how much I love it, but I'll make this short and sweet because it's really nice outside today and I want to enjoy the weather while it's nice (I live in Minnesota if you didn't know already). The children's picture book entitled The Memory Box by Mary Bahr and Illustrated by David Cunningham is a wonderful read for many reasons. For starters, it will serve as a great resource as my students and I delve into writing next year. Another reason this book is great is because it makes you think about your own family relationships and how special those can be. Third, wait, wasn't I supposed to be getting outside? Okay, the third and last reason this book is so great is because you could create your OWN memory box and put items in it that meant something to you. I've started thinking about what I'd put in my memory box (I'm using a shoe box right now). It serves as a great resource for writing and ......nevermind.. I'm heading out. Go out and read the book and let me know what you think.
