From the multiple award-winning creator of Small in the City and the illustrator of I Talk Like a River comes an innovative and moving look at memories, filtered through the mind of a child. Tucked in bed at a new apartment, a boy and his mother trade favorite memories.

But maybe someday, this will be a favorite memory, too: happy and sad, an end and a beginning intertwined.In a series of warm and wistful vignettes, as achingly fleeting as childhood memories always become, Sydney Smith takes us into the mind of a young person processing a bevy of complex emotions during a major life change. Do You Remember? is a stirring meditation on holding fast to the best of the past, and choosing to believe in the future.A New York
