When-I-was-a-little-girl

Rachna Gilmore, Renné Benoit

Hardcover (Second Story Press, March 1, 2007)

Award-winning author Rachna Gilmore revamps the classic parental trope of "When I was your age …" This sensitive story tells the tale of a little girl who just can't seem to measure up to the politeness, cleanliness or quietness that her mother supposedly exhibited as a child. The ghost of "Mommy past" haunts the girl with her extreme good manners and prim demeanor... until Grandma makes a visit and banishes those ideas of perfection. Funny and playful, this book will be a favorite with kids who love to laugh.
