Reach for this book when your child is overwhelmed by a big life transition or is feeling anxious about growing up and losing the magic of their younger years. It is an ideal choice for the child who holds onto every pebble and scrap of paper because they fear forgetting the feelings associated with them. The story follows Montana as she learns to curate her experiences through a Memory Day, a practice that transforms the abstract concept of time into a tangible, creative celebration of her own history. Through gentle storytelling, the book validates the heavy emotion of nostalgia in young children while offering a practical, mindfulness-based tool: the memory box. It encourages children ages 4 to 8 to view their personal growth not as a loss of the past, but as a collection of treasures to be revisited. Parents will appreciate how it models a healthy way to process transitions, turning potential anxiety into a joyful ritual of self-discovery and gratitude.
