Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about what happens after we die or expresses a fascination with the ancient past. It is an ideal choice for children who are navigating the transition from seeing history as a collection of facts to seeing it as a series of human lives. This poetic narrative allows a mummy to speak from the glass case of a museum, recounting her life as a beloved wife in Ancient Egypt. The story handles the concept of mortality with grace and dignity, focusing on the beauty of a life well-lived rather than the mechanics of death. Through lush illustrations and rhythmic text, it explores themes of identity, the passage of time, and the enduring nature of love. It is a gentle way to introduce historical empathy, helping children realize that the people behind museum exhibits once breathed, loved, and valued themselves just as we do today.
