I Had a Favorite Dress

Publisher Marketing: As the year passes, the narrator s favorite dress goes through a series of creative changes, from dress to shirt to tank top to scarf and so on, until all that s left of it is a good memory. Assisted by her patient and crafty mama, the narrator finds that when disaster strikes her favorite things, she doesn't need to make mountains out of molehills - she "makes molehills out of mountains" instead! Structured around the days of the week, the story is also illustrated to show the passing of the seasons, a perfect complement to the themes of growing older and keeping hold (and letting go) of special mementos."
