One rainy afternoon a girl discovers happens upon a box containing memories that her mother treasured years ago, starting a journey to a very different and not so distant past. A book about the passing of time, the changes that affect us, and the opportunities to come. This picture book is a look at childhood in a past that is chronologically not all that distant, but still very different because of the great changes that came about in a very short time. In the adult it can produce nostalgia; in the child of today, curiosity and learning. Without any evaluation, it aims to be a bridge for inter-generational dialogue, and emphasises the possibilities of building identity from the times in which each of us live.
