Today's book is The Sunsets of Miss Olivia Wiggins by Lester Laminack.
This is a book that Caroline and I read at bedtime.
It is a soft, loving book.
The pictures are absolutely beautiful.
In The Sunsets of Miss Olivia Wiggins Laminack once again visits the theme of close-knit family, this time through the story of Miss Olivia Wiggins, who is in a nursing home. When her daughter and great-grandson Troy come to visit her, the elderly woman acts as if she does not know they are there. However, as Troy begins to hum a tune, Miss Olivia is suddenly flooded by recollections of her children, as well as by other fond memories. "Realistic watercolors flow gently between present and past in this tender depiction of a life well lived," stated Susan Dove Lempke in a review for Booklist.
This is a book you will read over and over again.
