In uncertain times and moments of feeling overwhelmed, we adults often look back wistfully on our childhood, when life was easier and we felt protected by our parents and grandparents. We long for the simplicity of those days when we experienced everything for the first time and even the smallest things seemed like great miracles. In six short stories, Alexa Hennig von Lange tells of the storms of everyday life—and the moments of comfort that suddenly appear within them. The enchanting illustrations by Bonnie & Buttermilk carry us home to a feeling of security. This very special book reminds us that often it takes little more than an old kitchen bench, a large raincoat, a few apple slices, or a smile to know that everything is alright.
