Description
Like modern-day Miss Rumphius, this luminous story brings the scope of a lifetime into focus for a child reader, and fills it with the magic of gifts given and received. On the morning of her eighth birthday,Maude buries a secretat the foot of a flowering dogwood-and inside it,a tiny toy elephant,a marble like a tiger's eye,a bird's nest with purple string woven through the twigs,and more. A special box. A gift, waiting for the right moment to be opened again. Matthew Burgess and Evan Turk offer readers a moving and radiant story of the relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter, and the joy and promise passed down between them.
At once lyrical and profound, this book is a joyful celebration of intergenerational relationships, and of the secret treasure houses of childhood.
Young readers will delight in the memories and magic tucked away in the red tin box.
