Reviews

""I enjoyed the book on many levels: the feed sacks were really surprising and reflected a time when packaging was as important as the object...I loved the parrots (p. 68); the schoolgirls (p. 80); the pillow (p. 90); the hankies (pp. 108 & 127); the cloth doll (p. 229) is stupendous! All the dolls are the most touching! The drawings (p. 306, et al) are also such a discrete homage to simplicity!! The idea of the text at the end is great - it is as if the object is more important than the idea."" J-P.B. ""I find your book utterly delightful! Multiple times a day I pick it up, look at a page or two, and then close it again letting the memories linger with me..."" J.B. ""Remnants of Childhood is GORGEOUS...I can't wait to sit down and read it cover to cover. I'm especially excited to share it with my Aunt Betsy... It will absolutely get her creative juices flowing!"" S.W. ""Your book is such a joy. Each page holds a new treat. Remnants of Childhood is a gift that keeps on giving with memories of fabric, clothes, and even books from our past. I will keep it within reach forever."" N.L.
