Little Mama Forgets by Robin Cruise, illustrated by Stacey Dressen-McQueen is a gem of a book.  It starts with the gorgeous line: “Luciana Maria Isabela Galvez-Molinero.  My grandmother’s name is a morning song.”  Lovely.  It is the story of Lucy, a little girl, whose grandmother lives with her.  Her grandmother is growing more and more forgetful, but Lucy pairs each thing that her grandmother forgets with something that she remembers.  The words are poetic while the illustrations are bright colored and filled with life.  It has just the right amount of text to use for a story time.  This is not a book about the sadness of forgetting, but about the joy of remembering.
