You think you will always remember everything that happens to you.  What made you laugh so hard in third grade.  Who you sat next to in fifth.  But, you may be surprised that some of these memories fade with time.  Esme Codell has put some of her memories of growing up in Chicago down on paper so she won't forget them.  This is a celebration of people and moments in her life that are important to her.  We are treated to stories of the life of a 10 year old girl who has piano lessons, goes to school, has friends and family.
