A heartwarming and gentle story that ultimately reassures the strength of family bonds.

When-I-was-a-little-girl is a whimsical children's picturebook about how memories can sometimes change with perspective. Young Lisabeth tries to be a good girl, but it seems she is always "to messy" or "too picky" compared to the translucent, ghostlike figure of When-I-was-a-little-girl that Lisabeth's mother regularly invokes. Lisabeth is in a pickle - until Grandma comes to visit! Grandma remembers When-I-was-a-little-girl in a very different way; indeed, When-I-was-a-little-girl and Lisabeth are quite alike after all! A heartwarming and gentle story that ultimately reassures the strength of family bonds.

A Mother and Daughter story you'll relate to!

My almost 5 year old daughter picked this one out of the library - and what a great find! Here is a synopsis of the story; "Lisabeth's mother constantly tells her about the perfect child she used to be. But one awful day, when there is liver and onions and no dessert for dinner, Wheniwasalittlegirl actually appears. She's "all neat and tidy, with that I'm-so-perfect smile on her face." Not only that, but she loves liver and onions.... How will Lisabeth manage to get rid of this obnoxious visitor?"My girls now want to know if "wheniwasalittlegirl" can come to our house - they have been cleaning their bedroom & toyroom in preparation for her visit!!!
