My Favorite Memories
by Stepideh Sarihi
Age Range: 6-8
If you had to make a list of your favorite things, what would they be? A favorite blanket? A favorite book? Perhaps they’d be larger, like a favorite friend or a favorite frozen pond. The main character in German author Stepideh Sarihi’s story My Favorite Memories also comes up with a list of favorite things—both big and small—but the twist is that her family is moving, and she tries to come up with ways to bring all of her favorite things to her new house.
Translated into English by Elizabeth Lauffer, My Favorite Memories is all about understanding what you can fit into a suitcase. The little girl, illustrated by Julie Völk, on the front cover of the book holds up a red container that fits within it a school bus, a bus driver, her best friend, a chair, and a pear tree. A bottle with her fish sits next to her feet. Throughout the book, the main character talks about why she loves these things, and she says that she’s “still waiting for the bottles with [her] most favorite things inside.”
Reading My Favorite Memories can prompt discussions about how memories, tangible things, and change overlap. Maybe it’s not possible to fit a best friend into a bottle, but memories can last forever.
