About the story
Emma thinks the family is ordinary: no boat, no firefighter, nothing out of the ordinary. Over one weekend, Emma fills a box with little keepsakes, like a napkin, an odd sock and an old photo, and realizes that each one holds a moment of love: laughing together, caring for one another, fixing what breaks together. The story celebrates families of every shape and helps children see the value of their own, with room for mom or dad, the grandparents, the pet and the hometown.
