Jemima Remembers

This timeless story needs to get back into print. A girl explores her feelings and memories of a recent wonderful summer. This book has so many wonderful metaphors and similes, a flashback, and art that parallels how the story goes back and forth from present to past. I use this book in classes with teachers to assist in the teaching of writing. First of all, this book makes nearly everyone think of a memory they have, which may be a worthy writing topic, whether it's a vacation, former home, or any other special place lodged in someone's fond memories. So it helps generate topics for writing stories in classes. Second, because of the wonderful metaphoric language, JEMIMA makes a good model to use in the study of methaphoric language, a common topic in K-8 curriculum. To obtain this book, use a used bookseller like the one found on this site.
