review 1: This little picture book will warm the hearts of adults and inspire the imaginations of children as it begs the question, do the small things remember how they add up to the big things? From a single grain to a whole cake, from two people in love to an entire family, this is a precious book about parts becoming whole and remembering the past's role in the future. This one makes a perfect gift and is absolutely deserving of being shared.
review 2: Once Upon a Memory” written by Nina Laden and illustrated by Renata Liwska is the warm story for children that talks about need to remember our past, of memories what was once and not forgetting all that has led us to today.The story starts when a feather will drift through one boy window starting his journey while h... moree will follow magical feather to the fantasy world. On the way that is put in front of him, boy will meet cute animals while his story will be intertwined with motives of our memories, asking our young hero and reader questions such as “Does a book remember it once was a word?”, “Does a chair remember it was once was a tree?”, "Does love remember it once was new?", …“Once Upon a Memory” is a story that awakens longing, warmth of heart, book full of lyrical motifs that compels the reader to recall some nice memories of what was once. And although this book contains small of text it should be enjoyed slowly, page by page, because every sentence however brief raises many questions and awakens many memories.Not often is the case that in a picture book adults can enjoy equally as, if not more, than the kids whom we are reading, but “Once Upon a Memory” is such an example. This beautiful book can be fully recommended both for text and illustrations, but also due to the feelings that evokes. less
