The Memory Box: A gentle book for gentle souls

Reflecting on her own childhood encounter, lead by none other than Vincent Price, Binah recalls a Saturday morning in 1974 that left her with more questions than answers. "Why is that lady in a box? Is she dead? Am I going to die?"-tough queries that any parent might dread. Fast forward to age 43, and Binah finds herself facing the same conundrum with her own daughter. Armed with love, Torah and creativity, she crafts this poignant story with the desire to tackle the subject of death with a tender heart and honesty.

Filled with simple but thought-provoking llustrations and heartfelt prose, this book reassures young readers that while death is a part of life, it can be discussed without fear. In fact, it is a miraculous part of life; transforming trepidation into understanding, and fear into a thing of beauty. It is the true story about death and what happens the people we love, written for families who have chosen to be honest yet gentle about death and dying.
