Like modern-day Miss Rumphius, this luminous story brings the scope
of a lifetime into focus for a child reader, and fills it with the
magic of gifts given and received. On the morning of her eighth
birthday, Maude buries a secret at the foot of a flowering dogwood-
and inside it, a tiny toy elephant, a marble like a tiger's eye, a
bird's nest with purple string woven through the twigs, and more. A
special box. A gift, waiting for the right moment to be opened
again. Matthew Burgess and Evan Turk offer readers a moving and
radiant story of the relationship between a grandmother and
granddaughter, and the joy and promise passed down between them. At
once lyrical and profound, this book is a joyful celebration of
intergenerational relationships, and of the secret treasure houses
of childhood. Young readers will delight in the memories and magic
tucked away in the red tin box.
