One Fall Day

by Molly Bang

Book Overview

The Stone Diariesis the story of one woman's life; a truly sensuous novel that reflects and illuminates the unsettled decades of our century. Born in 1905, Daisy Goodwill drifts through the chapters of childhood, marriage, widowhood, remarriage, motherhood and old age. Bewildered by her inability to understand her own role, Daisy attempts to find a way to tell her own story within a novel that is itself about the limitations of autobiography.

A Wonderful Story - Great Pictures!

I teach preschool, and every time I read this book to the children I am thrown into memories of stormy fall days and the smell of wet leaves. The story of the child and the child's toys is simple and elegant, and the illustrations are magical. The children in my class always love the story, and often try to guess how the author made the pictures.
