Laura’s memory string is more than a row of buttons. Each one holds a family story, and the ones that belonged to her mother feel especially precious: a prom dress button, a wedding dress button, and one from the nightgown her mother wore the day she died. Laura is still grieving, and her new stepmother, Jane, cannot take her mother’s place. When the string breaks and a beloved button goes missing, Jane tries to help, but Laura’s feelings are tangled with anger, sadness, and fear of forgetting. The Memory String is a tender picture book about loss, blended families, and the difficult work of holding on to the past while allowing new memories to begin.
