When I Was Little

Book excerpt: How delightful to see the world through the eyes of a child! Charli and her grandmother walk through a state park where they encounter many Pacific Northwest animals. The little girl imagines that she has actually become each of these creatures in her past. Grandma is doubtful, but by the end of the book, she is able to confirm one of Charli’s memories as she tucks her into bed. This read aloud book for young children introduces them to the region's animals and reminds them of the special relationship between grandchildren and grandparents. Enchanting watercolor illustrations enhance the story.
