Each button on Laura''s memory string represents a piece of her family history. The buttons Laura cherishes the most belonged to her mother-a button from her prom dress, a white one off her wedding dress, and a single small button from the nightgown she was wearing on the day she died. When the string breaks, Laura''s new stepmother, Jane, is there to comfort Laura and search for a missing button, just as Laura''s mother would have done. But it''s not the same-Jane isn''t Mom. In Eve Bunting''s moving story, beautifully illustrated by Ted Rand, Laura discovers that a memory string is not just for remembering the past: it''s also for recording new memories.
