About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about where they came from or how people stay connected across many years. It is a perfect choice for quiet moments when you want to foster a sense of wonder about history and the invisible threads that bind generations together. The story follows a small gold ring, lost in the 19th century and found in the present day, serving as a beautiful metaphor for the enduring nature of love. Bob Graham uses his signature gentle style to explore themes of patience, hope, and the passage of time. While it is technically a historical fiction piece, it feels like a modern fairy tale. It is highly appropriate for children aged 4 to 8, offering a calming reading experience that encourages children to look more closely at the world around them and appreciate the hidden stories in everyday objects.
