This little girl is at her Gramma's house, exploring a hill full of blueberry bushes — but she's also remembering camping with her mom. Her grandmother is watching her out the kitchen window, and enjoying memories of seeing a bunny in her own mother's garden. And the girl's mother is walking to find her, but also thinking of when she used to pick berries and sort them in Gramma's kitchen. Each of them is here but also in the past... and their memories connect them, ever closer to one another.
An ode to the way memories allow us to be in many places at once, Also is a sweet story about being present as well as looking back. Ezra Jack Keats Honor-winner E. B. Goodale explores the power of memory, teaches children subtle lessons about the passing of time, and celebrates the cherished bonds we share with those we love. With gorgeous illustrations in full color for the present and grayscale for the past, this is a moving book about family, memory, and love.
