Where My Memories Live

Some places are big, some are small¿ but each holds a little bit of magic. From a treehouse where the wind hums, to Grandma's warm kitchen filled with the smell of cookies, to a quiet corner of the park where time seems to slow-every place tells its own story. In this gentle and lyrical picture book, children are invited to notice the wonder hidden in the everyday. Each page is a doorway into a special space, a reminder that our surroundings shape the memories we keep and the love we share. Whether it's a bustling family gathering or a peaceful nook all to yourself, these places remind us that magic isn't only in castles or faraway lands-it's in the spaces we call home. This story is a celebration of belonging, memory, and imagination. With poetic text and heartfelt imagery, it encourages young readers to reflect on their own special places-the ones where they feel safe, joyful, and loved. It also invites families to share stories of their own treasured spaces, building connections across generations and sparking meaningful conversations. Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom sharing, or quiet reflection, this book is designed for children ages 4 to 8 but will resonate with readers of all ages. Its timeless message-that ordinary places hold extraordinary meaning-makes it a keepsake to return to again and again. A touching celebration of home, heart, and the magic carried within us wherever we go, this story is sure to inspire families to pause, look around, and discover the beauty in the spaces that shape their lives.
