Beschreibung des Verlags
A joyful picture book about celebrating everyday moments of fun, beauty, and wonder, from New York Times bestselling author Aisha Saeed
Meet Zuni. She's sweet, silly, ever-so-charming, and full of bright ideas. Her family has a memory jar. Anytime someone in the family does something important, they mark those moments through notes and photos stored in the jar and share those memories together at the end of the year.
Her parents tell Zuni that when she grows up, she’ll have important memories to share, too, like graduations, and milestones, and trophies. But Zuni is already making memories! And at the end of the year, her family gets to see the moments that made an impact on little Zuni.
A deceptively simple story for young and old alike, Zuni and the Memory Jar is a reminder to celebrate everyday joys in life along with the grand achievements.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A family's way of reflecting on the year encourages Zuni, youngest of three, to make memories in this sunny tale. When Mama arrives home with a big glass jar, she explains that it will hold items associated with special moments. As Zuni's family adds mementos from their achievements—a winning soccer goal, a successful piano recital—Zuni is told that "someday" her moment will come, too. When the jar is opened, it reveals each individual's recollections—and the way Zuni has made the most of notable everyday events. Saeed's slice-of-life-oriented text highlights each signpost, while Rawat's digital illustrations capture Zuni's no less significant contributions alongside those of her family. An author's note concludes. Zuni's family cues as being of South Asian heritage. Ages 4–8.
