One very touching book is Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. “On, there are so many lives. How we wish we could live them concurrently instead of one by one by one. We could select the best pieces of each, stringing them together like a strand of pearls. But that's not how it works. A human life is a beautiful mess.” (Gabrielle Zevin)
The connection I have made it between this quote and the children’s book The Memory String by Eve Bunting. This book is about a little girl who keeps a string of buttons. Some of the buttons are ones from her moms wedding dress, a prom dress and a baby shirt. I think this connects to Zevin’s quote nicely. To me, the buttons represent all the happy times that went on during the girls life and her family life. When she looks at the buttons she sees all the best pieces of many peoples lives. Even though these books are very different, they have a very similar connection.
