I stumbled across this one while reading a “Memorial Day” book by [a:Eve Bunting 19126 Eve Bunting https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1261108322p2/19126.jpg] and at a glance, I think this might be another one. This is by Eve Bunting, but this book is about family and parenting. I read this book on a Kindle 10” Fire using Amazon Kids+ (formerly known as Kindle Freetime Unlimited). This is a picture book that is formatted horribly for Kindle. It has the original picture book images and duplicated the text to a size that is readable. I find this formatting to be very choppy and almost not worth it to experience reading in this manner. This is one that is heart-touching where a girl who has lost her mother to death is adjusting to a new wife for her father and memories both hard and good. There is room for new memories and getting to that point is the main purpose of this story. I can see this being a good one to explain many feelings to children that may not quite understand.
